The hardhead snailfish (Lopholiparis flerxi) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species is found in the northern Pacific Ocean where a single specimen (the holotype) was collected in June 2000 from near the Aleutian Islands at a depth of 285 m (935 ft). The length of the fish was 3.3 cm (1.3 in) SL. This species is the only member of the monospecific genus Lopholiparis. [1] [2] The specific name honors the collector of the holotype, William C. Flerx of the National Marine Fisheries Service. [3]
