==Taxonomy== Ocynectes was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1904 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks with Ocynectes maschalis, which they described from Wakanoura in Wakayama Prefecture in Japan, designated as its type species. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this genus within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.
