Antimora microlepis Bean, 1890 .

Pacific Flatnose or Small-scaled Blue Hake. To 84 cm ( 33.1 in) TL ( Korostelev et al. 2020). Southern Japan (not in Sea of Japan) to Sea of Okhotsk, to Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, to Gulf of California ( Allen and Smith 1988, Cohen in Cohen et al. 1990). Benthopelagic over continental slope; depth: about 61–3,408 m ( 200–11,178 ft) (min.: NWFSC-FRAM; max.: Kamikawa 2017). For some time, A. microlepis was classified as a junior synonym of Antimora rostrata (Günther, 1878) , and reports of much larger A. microlepis or specimens reported from the South Pacific likely pertain to A. rostrata . A report of an Antimora rostrata capture off the Pacific Coast of central America ( Morera et al. 2019) may refer to A. microlepis .
