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]
