Taxonomy

Radulinus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1890 by the American ichthyologist Charles Henry Gilbert [1] when he described the slim sculpin (R. asprellus) from waters off the “northwestern U.S.A.”. [2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Artediellus within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, [3] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Radulininae of the family Psychrolutidae. [1]

Species

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