''Cottocomephorus'' was first proposed as a [[monospecific genus]] in 1900 by the French [[ichthyologist]] Jacques Pellegrin when he [[Species description|described]] ''Cottocomephorus megalops'' as a new species.<ref name = CofF/> The genus was classified in the family Cottocomephoridae; however, the 5th edition of ''[[Fishes of the World]]'' classifies the genus within the [[subfamily]] [[Cottinae]] of the family Cottidae, studies having found that the genera formerly included in the Cottocomephoridae were a [[clade]] arising from the genus ''[[Cottus (fish)|Cottus]]''.<ref name = Nelson5>{{cite book |title=Fishes of the World |edition=5th |author1=J.
