Antimora microlepis Bean, 1890. Pacific Flatnose or Small-scaled Blue Hake. To 84 cm (33.1 in) TL (Korostelev et al. 2020). Southern Japan (not in Sea of Japan) to Sea of Okhotsk, to Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, to Gulf of California (Allen and Smith 1988, Cohen in Cohen et al. 1990). Benthopelagic over continental slope; depth: about 61–3,408 m (200–11,178 ft) (min.: NWFSC-FRAM; max.: Kamikawa 2017). For some time, A. microlepis was classified as a junior synonym of Antimora rostrata (Günther, 1878), and reports of much larger A. microlepis or specimens reported from the South Pacific likely pertain to A. rostrata. A report of an Antimora rostrata capture off the Pacific Coast of central America (Morera et al. 2019) may refer to A. microlepis.
