Lectotype. SU 48, 91 mm, Alaska, north of the Shumagin Islands, between Unga and Nagai islands; 55.167 °N, 160.3 °W, depth 201 m, Albatross station 2848, 31 July 1888, herein designated (Fig. 4 B). Paralectotypes. USNM 45363, 2 (68.2–73.1 mm), both in poor condition, same locality data as lectotype. Diagnosis. Careproctus spectrum can be distinguished from other members of the C. rastrinus species complex by the combination of a large orbit, large pelvic disc, and counts of vertebrae, and dorsal- and anal-fin rays. Its larger orbit (33.9–34.4 % HL) distinguishes it from C. scottae (16.4–32.1 % HL), C. phasma (17.3–31.6 % HL), C. acanthodes (24.0– 33.9 % HL), C. trachysoma (16.7–28.3 % HL), and the new species C. lerikimae (21.1 – 33.0 % HL). Its larger pelvic disc (22.5–23.1 % HL) distinguishes it from C. trachysoma (11.1–18.1 % HL), C. pellucidus ...
