Ernogrammus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Ernogrammus was first proposed as a genus in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann with Stichaeus enneagrammus, which had been described by Rudolf Kner in 1868 from Decastris Bay on the Tatar Strait in the northern Sea of Japan, as the only species in this monotypic genus. S. enneagrammus is now considered to be a junior synonym of Schlegel's Stichaeus hexagrammus. This genus is classified within the subfamily Stichaeinae of the Zoarcoid family Stichaeidae.
