CAREPROCTUS ATTENUATES GUbert and Burke 



Careproctus attenuatus Gilbert and Burke. 1912a, p. 79. 



Type.— No. 74386, U.S.N.M.; Bermg Sea, Albatross Station 4781; 

 depth 482 fathoms. 



Distribution. — Bering Sea; Albatross Station 4781; depth 482 fath- 

 oms. One specimen. 



RelationsTiips. — In many respects C. attenuatus resembles C. 

 Tiomopterus. A discussion of the differences between the two species 

 is given under C. Tiomopterus. The dorsal fin in C. attenuatus appears 

 to be slightly notched and in this respect resembles the dorsal fin in 

 C. ectenes.
