## Taxonomy

[edit]

Bolinia was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1991 by Mamoru Yabe when he described Bolinia euryptera[1] from near Amukta Pass in the Aleutian Islands.[2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Bolinia within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[3] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[1]
