Helcogramma ememes is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Helcogramma. It was described by Wouter Holleman in 2007 who used the initials of his mentor Margaret Mary Smith (1916-1987) of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology to create this species specific name. Smith and her husband, J.L.B. Smith, had collected many specimens of this blenny in the 1960s.
