Eumicrotremus was first proposed as a genus in 1862 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with Fabricius’s Cyclopterus spinosus as its type species. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognize subfamilies within the Cyclopteridae, however, other authorities place this genus in the subfamily Eumicrotreminae.
There are currently 18 recognized species in this genus:
