Cristiceps australis, the crested weedfish, is a species of clinid found around southern Australia in the subtidal zone from low water to depths of about 30 metres (98 ft) preferring areas with plentiful seaweed growth. This species can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) TL.
Ericentrus rubrus, the orange clinid, is a species of clinid endemic to the waters around New Zealand where it can be found in tide pools and in the subtidal zone from low water to depths of about 30 metres (98 ft). It prefers to inhabit beds of brown algae where it preys on the small crustaceans that also inhabit these areas. It is currently the only known member of the genus Ericentrus.
Fucomimus mus, the Mousey klipfish, is a species of clinid found in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean along the South African coast where it occurs in tide pools. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. This species feeds on benthic crustaceans including amphipods, isopods and copepods, and gastropods.
Muraenoclinus dorsalis, the nosestripe klipfish, is a species of clinid native to the Atlantic coast of southern Africa from Namibia to Natal, South Africa where it can be found in stony tide pools. It is viviparous. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Myxodes is a genus of clinids found along the Pacific coast of South America from Peru to Chile.
Clinus robustus, the Robust klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean around South Africa where it can be found in the subtidal zone in areas with plentiful seaweed growth. This species can reach a maximum length of 50 centimetres (20 in) TL.
Clinus rotundifrons, the kelp klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean from Namibia to South Africa where it inhabits kelp beds. This species can reach a length of greater than 10 centimetres (3.9 in).
Clinus taurus, the bull klipfish, is a species of clinid that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean from Namibia to South Africa where it occurs in the tidal and subtidal zones. This species can reach a maximum length of 23 centimetres (9.1 in) TL.

Heteroclinus nasutus, the large-nose weedfish, is a species of clinid that is found in the waters of the Pacific Ocean coast of Australia where it prefers algae covered rocky outcrops along the coast down to a depth of about 10 metres (33 ft). This species can reach a maximum length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) TL.
Heteroclinus perspicillatus, the common weedfish, is a species of clinid native to southern Australia where it is found in seagrass beds and rocky reefs at depths of up to 10 metres (33 ft). This species can reach a maximum length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL.
Heteroclinus puellarum, the little weedfish, is a species of clinid found on the Indian Ocean coast of southern Australia where it can be found in tide pools, rocky reefs and estuaries. This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.
Heteroclinus tristis, the sharp-nose weedfish, is a species of clinid native to the coastal waters of southern Australia where it prefers sandy reefs with sparse vegetation. This species can reach a maximum length of 30 centimetres (12 in) TL. This species feed primarily fishes, shrimp and prawns.
Myxodes ornatus is a species of clinid native to the Pacific coast of Chile, South America.
Ophiclinops hutchinsi, the Earspot snakeblenny, is a species of clinid native to reefs with seagrass or weed growth at depths of from 13 to 15 metres along the coast of south east Western Australia.
Ophiclinops varius, the Variegated snake-blenny, is a species of clinids found in the coastal waters of southern Australia where it resides in beds of Amphibolis seagrasses. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL.
Ophiclinus gracilis, the Black-back snake-blenny, is a species of clinid native to the coastal waters of southern Australia where it prefers areas with rotting vegetation on silty substrates. It can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.
The dusky crawler is a species of clinid native to the coast of southern Australia, where it lives around coastal outcrops in which it can find partially sheltered, sandy bays. It can be found at depths from 5 to 10 m. It can reach a maximum total length of 8 cm (3.1 in). The specific name of this clinid honours ichthyologist Eugenie Clark (1922-2015) of the University of Maryland.
