zonurus, Malacocottus Bean [T. H.] 1890:43 [Proceedings of the United States National Museum v. 13 (no. 795); ref. 229] Off Trinity Island, Alaska, U.S.A., 56°00'N, 154°20'W, Albatross station 2853, depth 159 fathoms. Holotype: USNM 44643. Paratypes: USNM 363488 (6). Author says, "The type of the description and figure is 4 3/4 inches long." That is probably not sufficient to establish a holotype, but the 4 3/4-in. specimen if identifiable and is regarded as the described syntype; it would make the best lectotype [others may regard that specimen as the type]. •Valid as Malacocottus zonurus Bean 1890 -- (Yabe in Amaoka et al. 1983:157, 215, 289, 339 [ref. 8379], Yabe in Masuda et al. 1984:330 [ref. 6441], Lindberg & Krasyukova 1987:271 [ref. 15964], Matarese et al. 1989:442 [ref. 26885], McAllister 1990:204 [ref. 14674] as Malacottus, Shinohara et al. 1992:422 [ref. 19776], Kim et al. 1993:21 [ref. 22288], Shinohara et al. 1996:177 [ref. 26605], Sokolovskaya et al. 1998:10 [ref. 24670], Nakabo 2000:651 [ref. 25086], Sheiko & Fedorov 2000:30 [ref. 25650], Tokranov & Orlov 2001:482 [516] [ref. 38795], Mecklenburg et al. 2002:520 [ref. 25968], Nakabo 2002:651 [ref. 26001], Choi et al. 2003:276, 583 [ref. 26218], Parin et al. 2002:S94 [ref. 28300], Fedorov et al. 2003:87 [ref. 27579], Nelson et al. 2004:123 [ref. 27807], Love et al. 2005:95 [ref. 37547], Page et al. 2013:126 [ref. 32708], Shinohara et al. 2014:254 [ref. 33330], Parin et al. 2014:302 [ref. 33547], Stevenson 2015:23 [ref. 33680], Tohkairin et al. 2015:8 [ref. 35331], Kells et al. 2016:208 [ref. 35888], Kim et al. 2020:107 [ref. 39118], Sonoyama et al. 2020:91 [ref. 37637], Love et al. 2021:123 [ref. 39279], Dyldin & Orlov 2022:55 [ref. 38972], Page et al. 2023:186 [ref. 40505]).
