Taxonomy

Stlengis was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1904 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks[1] when they described Stlengis osensis off Ose Point in Suruga Bay, Japan.[2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Stlengis within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[3] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[1]

Species

There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[4]

  • Stlengis distoechus Bolin, 1936
  • Stlengis misakia (Jordan & Starks, 1904)
  • Stlengis osensis Jordan & Starks, 1904
