Careproctus gilberti Burke, 1912.

Smalldisk Snailfish. To 12.7 cm (5 in) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Western Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) and eastern Bering Sea (Hoff and Britt 2003) to central California north of Point Conception at about 35°10’N off Morro Bay (Townsend and Nichols 1925), and perhaps to southern California (33°44.9’N, 120°12’W) (Daniel Pondella, pers. comm. to M.L.). Depth: 55–2,040 m (180– 6,691 ft) (min.: Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; confirmed by Katherine Maslenikov; max.: Drazen et al. 2015). The southern limit is the collection locality for the type specimen of Liparis osborni Townsend & Nichols, 1925, a junior synonym of C. gilberti (Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
