The short-tassel weedfish (Cologrammus flavescens) is a species of clinid native to the Pacific Ocean waters around the Bass Strait and New Zealand.[2] This species are known to feed on fishes and benthic crustaceans.[3] It is the only species in its genus.[4] Klunzinger's name, Clinus marmoratus, is a homonym and was preoccupied by Castelnau's Clinus marmoratus, rendering it invalid for this fish and this name is now considered to be a junior synonym of Cologrammus flavescens.[5]
