Stlengis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean where they are only known from the waters around Japan.
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]
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [4]
Antipodocottus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the western Pacific Ocean. This is the only genus of Cottids represented in the Southern Hemisphere, although their classification in the Cottidae is not universally accepted.
Archistes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. the two species in this genus are found in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Astrocottus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
Bero elegans is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This species is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. This species grows to a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. It is the only known member of the genus Bero.
Bolinia is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This taxon is endemic to the northern Pacific Ocean around the Aleutian Islands of Amukta, Carlisle, and Semisopochnoi. It is found at depths of between 201 to 410 metres. This species grows to a length of 18.9 centimetres (7.4 in) SL. The only species in the genus is Bolinia euryptera.

The sponge sculpin is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. It is the only species in the monospecific genus Thyriscus. This fish is found in the northern Pacific Ocean where it is found at depths from 100 to 800 m though usually in the range of 300 to 400 m. This species grows to a maximum published total length of 14.5 cm (5.7 in).
Vellitor is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in seawedd beds in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
Zesticelus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean.
Alcichthys is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the "typical" sculpins. The only species in the genus is Alcichthys elongatus, which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
Cottinae is a subfamily of ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. The subfamily has species throughout the northern hemisphere in both marine and freshwater habitats.
The spinynose sculpin is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. It is found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska south to Washington and the San Juan Islands. The spinynose sculpin is the only species in the monospecific genus Asemichthys. This sculpin lays its eggs on the egg masses of the buffalo sculpin, thought to be a strategy to take advantage of the larger fish’s egg guarding behaviour.
