Taxon Notes:Originally designated as Alionematichthys sp 2 by Møller & Schwarzhans (2008) from a single female specimen collected at Kendrew Island, northern WA. They refrained from describing the species due to the lack of a male specimen for investigation of the pseudoclasper morphology. Later, Schwarzhans & Møller (2011) discovered additional male specimens from northern WA that conformed with Alionematichthys crassiceps.
