This interesting deep water species, described by Gilbert from Oregon at a 

 depth of 685-877 fathoms was later found in the Bering Sea at the Priblov Ids; 

 quite recently on our coast of the Bering Sea by the TIRH expeditions . Both of 

 our examples (DALNEVOSTOTCHNIK, 1932) were taken in a beam trawl at St. 5, 

 off Gape Uschin, Bering Id. The depth was only 200 meters . They were taken with 

 other representatives of the deep water fauna: Brizaster townsendi, Chionoecetes 

 angulatus, Grimpotheithis albatrossi , Spirontocaris biunguis , Ophiophthalmu s 

 normani. Fish: Bathyagonus nigripinnis, Lycogramma b runnea , Lycenchelys 

 camchaticus and also representatives of the genera Careproctus and Paraliparis J/

Representatives of these deep water species of Liparidae are absent from 

 the laboratory and therefore cannot be identified .
