==Taxonomy== Adelosebastes was formally described as a genus in 1979 by the ichthyologists William N. Eschmeyer, Tokiharu Abe and Soji Nakano when they described its only species Adelosebastes latens. A. latens was described from types collected at the Emperor Seamounts and the Aleutian Islands. The generic name Adelosebastes is a compound of adelos which means "unseen" in Greek, the allusion was not explained, it likely refers to this species occurring in the "poorly explored" Emperor Seamount Chain at depths of ; and Sebastes, the type genus of the subfamily Sebastinae. The specific name, latens, means secret in Latin, again the authors did not explain this allusion but it is probably in line with their use of adelos in the genus name.
