Hypsagonus quadricornis (Valenciennes, 1829).
Fourhorn Poacher. To 12 cm (4.7 in) TL (Tokranov and Orlov 2004). Northern Japan and Sea of Okhotsk, to Commander–Aleutian Chain, and Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to northeastern Chukchi Sea as far north as 71°01’N, 164°52’W (Mecklenburg et al. 2016), to Puget Sound, Washington (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 452 m (1,483 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2016).
