The long-finned char is a morphologically aberrant type of char; when scientifically first described in 1990, it was placed as the single species in Salvethymus, a new monotypic genus. It is closely related to the true chars in the genus Salvelinus and is phylogenetically placed within this genus; it is probably a sister lineage to the Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) complex.[5][4]
