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]
