Careproctus cypselurus (Jordan & Gilbert, 1898). Falcate Snailfish or Forktail Snailfish. To 37.4 cm (14.7 in (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). A record of 54 cm (21.3 in) SL (Kamikawa 2017) is without documentation and is likely in error (James Orr). Pacific Ocean off Honshu, Japan to Kuril Islands and Sea of Okhotsk (Kido 1988) to Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), Gulf of Alaska (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington) to northern California (35°26.5’N, 121°44.2’W) (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington); at least several captures reported from further south (e.g., central California (34°44’N), Weinberg et al. 2002; southern California (32°56’N), NWFSC-FRAM), but without voucher specimens. Depth: 35–1,993 m (115–6,539 ft) (min.: Orlov and Tokranov 2011; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002). : 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 136, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Kamikawa, D.
