Leuroglossus schmidti Rass, 1955 .

Northern Smoothtongue. To 20 cm (7.9 in) SL or more ( Mason and Phillips 1985). Northern Honshu, Japan to Sea of Okhotsk to Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern British Columbia ( Peden 1981). Adults primarily epipelagic to upper mesopelagic; depth: near surface to 1,800 m (5,905 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Classified in Bathylagus by some authors. Records from south of British Columbia (e.g., Lauth (1999) from Point Conception, California) likely relate to L. stilbius ( Peden 1981, Dunn 1983; nomenclatural history is summarized in Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
