Cyclopteropsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. These small lumpfishes are found in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans.
Taxonomy
Cyclopteropsis was first proposed as a genus in 1929 by the Russian ichthyologists Vladimir Konstantinovich Soldatov and Alexander Mikhailovich Popov designating Cyclopteropsis bergi as the type species.[1] FishBase still recognises this genus as valid,[2] but Catalog of Fishes treats it as a synonym of Eumicrotremus.[1]
Species
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Cyclopteropsis bergi Popov, 1929
- Cyclopteropsis brashnikowi (P. J. Schmidt, 1904)
- Cyclopteropsis inarmatus Mednikov (ru) & Prokhorov, 1956 (Bumpy lumpsucker)
- Cyclopteropsis jordani Soldatov, 1929 (Smooth lumpfish)
- Cyclopteropsis lindbergi Soldatov, 1930
- Cyclopteropsis mcalpini (Fowler, 1914) (Arctic lumpsucker)
- Cyclopteropsis popovi Soldatov, 1929
