There are currently two subspecies known: \n* Emmelichthys nitidus cyanescens (Guichenot, 1848) native to deep waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile and the Juan Fernandez islands. This subspecies can reach a length of 34.2 centimetres (13.5 in) SL. \n* Emmelichthys nitidus nitidus J. Richardson, 1845, the Cape bonnetmouth, native to deep waters of the Indian and western Pacific oceans from South Africa to Australia and New Zealand.
