There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus:Caulolatilus affinis T. N. Gill, 1865 Caulolatilus bermudensis Dooley, 1981 Caulolatilus chrysops Caulolatilus cyanops Poey, 1866 Caulolatilus dooleyi Berry, 1978 Caulolatilus guppyi Beebe & Tee-Van, 1937 Caulolatilus hubbsi Dooley, 1978 Caulolatilus intermedius Howell-Rivero, 1936 Caulolatilus microps Goode & T. H. Bean, 1878 Caulolatilus princeps Caulolatilus williamsi Dooley & Berry, 1977
Studies have shown that C. hubbsi is not readily distinguishable from C. princeps and should be treated as a junior synonym of the latter taxon.
