Cyclopteropsis

Cyclopteropsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers.

These small lumpfishes are found in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans.

Cyclopteropsis was first proposed as a genus in 1929 by the Russian ichthyologists Vladimir Konstantinovich Soldatov and Alexander Mikhailovich Popov designating Cyclopteropsis bergi as the type species.

[1] FishBase still recognises this genus as valid,[2] but Catalog of Fishes treats it as a synonym of Eumicrotremus.

[1] There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[2]
