The name of the subfamily comes from that of its type genus ''Stichaeus'', which means “set in a row”, which may be an allusion to the row of black spots on the dorsal fin, dorsal fins of the species in that genus. Genera Stichaeinae contains the following genera: ''Dinogunellus'' Solomon Herzenstein, Herzenstein, 1890 is treated as a vaild genus by ''Catalog of Fishes'' but ''Fishbase'' does not and treats the 3 species classified within it as belonging to the genus ''Stichaeus''.
