There are currently 14 recognized species in this genus:[2]

  • Hypoatherina barnesi L. P. Schultz, 1953 (Barnes' silverside)
  • Hypoatherina celebesensis D. Sasaki & Kimura, 2012[3] (Sulawesi silverside)
  • Hypoatherina gobio (Klunzinger, 1884)
  • Hypoatherina golanii D. Sasaki & Kimura, 2012[4] (Red Sea silverside)
  • Hypoatherina klunzingeri (Smith, 1965)
  • Hypoatherina lunata D. Sasaki & Kimura, 2012[4] (Okinawan silverside)
  • Hypoatherina macrophthalma D. Sasaki & Kimura, 2012 [3]
  • Hypoatherina ovalaua (Herre, 1935) (Fijian silverside)
  • Hypoatherina panatela (D. S. Jordan & R. E. Richardson, 1908) (panatela silverside)
  • Hypoatherina temminckii (Bleeker, 1854) (Samoan silverside)
  • Hypoatherina tropicalis (Whitley, 1948) (Whitley's silverside)
  • Hypoatherina tsurugae (D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1901) (Cobalt silverside)
  • Hypoatherina uisila (D. S. Jordan & Seale, 1906) (Pacific silverside)
  • Hypoatherina villosa (Duncker & Mohr, 1926)

Fishbase has H. gobio as a synonym of H. temminckii and H. klunzingeri as a synonym of H. barnesi, while H. panatela is listed as Stenatherina panatela,[5] other authorities include these species within Hypoatherina and place H. crenolepsis, H. harringtonensis, H. ovalaua in the genus Atherina and H. valencennei in Doboatherina.[2][6]
