==Taxonomy== Agonus was first proposed as a genus in 1801 by the German naturalists Marcus Elieser Bloch and Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider. Bloch and Schneider classified 4 species in Agonus and in 1814 Tilesius designated Cottus cataphractus as the type species of the genus. Cottus cataphractus was described by Linnaeus in 1758 with a type locality of Europe. The genus Agonus is now regarded as monotypic and is classified within the subfamily Agoninae in the family Agonidae.
