Sebastolobus macrochir (G��nther, 1877). Broadbanded Thornyhead or Broadfin Thornyhead. To 41 cm (16.1 in) TL (Poltev 2011). Seas of Japan and Okhotsk to Commander Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), Pacific Ocean south of Aleutian Islands (eastward to 54��22���N, 166��21���W) (Maslenikov et al. 2013), and Bering Sea south of Cape Navarin to eastern Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: 100���1,504 m (328��� 4,934 ft) (min.: Orlov and Kochkin 1995; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Many of the earlier records for this species in the eastern Bering Sea pertain to S. alascanus. The vernacular ���broadbanded thornyhead��� may have originated as a typographical error for broadhanded (translation of macrochir), in reference to the pectoral fins (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); the fish does not have any bands of color.

Eumicrotremus gyrinops (Garman, 1892). Alaskan Lumpsucker. To at least 9.2 cm (3.6 in) SL (Stevenson et al. 2017).

We follow Stevenson et al. (2017) and consider Eumicrotremus muticus (Lethotremus muticus) (Garman, 1892) and Eumicrotremus phrynoides Gilbert & Burke, 1912 to be junior synonyms. However, we note that Voskoboinikova (2019a) retains the species status of both of these taxa. In addition to species now recognized as its junior synonyms, Eumicrotremus gyrinops has often been misidentified as Eumicrotremus asperrimus (Tanaka, 1912) or E. birulai Popov, 1928. However, these two species, if they are both valid, are part of the Western Pacific clade of the E. asperrimus complex (Kai et al., 2015), and their distributions appear to be restricted to the western Pacific, Sea of Okhotsk, and Sea of Japan., Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 133, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008, {"references":["Stevenson, D.
