La especie Parascorpis typus es la única del género Parascorpis, a su vez el único de la familia Parascorpididae,[2][3][4][5] una familia de peces marinos incluida en el orden Perciformes. En contra del resto de autores y basado en estudios más antiguos según ITIS no es una familia, la encuadra como subfamilia de la familia de las chopas.[6]
