Microancathus tokranovi
Microancathus tokranovi is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific, and one of two species in the genus Microancathus. It is known from the Kuril Islands. It is distinguished from its congener M. fedorovi by a taller body and flatter and less developed bone plaques.[1] FishBase does not recognize this species or the genus Microancathus, placing M. fedorovi within Eumicrotremus.[2] This species was described in 2015 alongside the establishment of Microancathus and the reclassification of M. fedorovi.
