Bero elegans was first formally described in 1881 by the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner with its type locality given as Strietok, near Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan.[3] Steindachner classified the new species in the monospecific genus Bero.[4] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Bero within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[5] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[3]
Bero is a local name for this fish at Aomori in Japan. The specific name elegans mean "elegant" or "refined", an allusion Steindachner did not explain but may be a reference to the coloration and pattern of this fish.[6]
Bero elegans is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean around northern Japan, Sakhalin and Peter the Great Bay.[2]
