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.
