Species
There are currently 3 recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Hollardia goslinei J. C. Tyler, 1968 (Hawaiian spikefish)
- Hollardia hollardi Poey, 1861 (Reticulate spikefish)
- Hollardia meadi J. C. Tyler, 1966 (Spotted 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]

gollark: I'm not actually in university. I'm doing A-levels next year. Which still makes me *technically* a "student".
gollark: Technically, nothing now? It's my holidays.
gollark: I don't actually work for money. I'm a student.
gollark: I see.
