* Eumicrotremus spinosus (Fabricius, 1776) .

Atlantic Spiny Lumpsucker.To about 14 cm (5.5 in)TL ( Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Near Alaska in eastern Beaufort Sea off Canada at Mackenzie River Delta ( Mecklenburg et al. 2016) to Greenland and western Atlantic to Cape Cod; eastern North Atlantic, Kara and Barents seas, and Novaya Zemlya (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Depth: 5–930 m (16–2,983 ft) (min.: Scott and Scott 1988; max.: Andriashev 1954); adults typically at 60–200 m (197–656 ft) ( Andriashev 1954). Eumicrotremus eggvinii Koefoed, 1956 is a synonym, originally based on spawning males of Eumicrotremus spinosus (Byrkiedal et al. 2007, Voskoboinikova and Balanov 2019). Historical confusion between this species and E. eggvinii , Eumicrotrema derjugini Popov, 1926 , and Eumicrotremus terraenovae Myers and Böhlke, 1950 means that it is difficult to parse out valid capture data.
