There are currently 3 recognized species in this genus:[1]

  • , 1968 (Hawaiian spikefish)
  • Poey, 1861 (Reticulate spikefish)

In 2020, new research in the Coral Sea by Australian scientists using a robotic submarine sent back pictures of what appears to be Hollardia hollardi, for the first time in an area not around Hawaii.[2]
