Taxonomy

Bero elegans was first formally described in 1881 by the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner with its type locality given as Strietok, near Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan. [3] Steindachner classified the new species in the monospecific genus Bero. [4] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Bero within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, [5] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae. [3]

Etymology

Bero is a local name for this fish at Aomori in Japan. The specific name elegans mean "elegant" or "refined", an allusion Steindachner did not explain but may be a reference to the coloration and pattern of this fish. [6]

Distribution

Bero elegans is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean around northern Japan, Sakhalin and Peter the Great Bay. [2]

The Andriyashev largeheaded sculpin is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This species is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. This monospecific genus, and therefore this species, are known from a single specimen, the holotype. This was collected from off Simushir Island in the Kuril Islands at a depth of 100 metres (330 ft). That specimen had a total length of 23.6 cm (9.3 in) long. FishBase classifies this taxon within the Cottidae but other authorities classify it within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae. The genus name Andriashevicottus includes a patronym, the person honoured was not identified by the describer Fedorov, however, it is almost certainly the Soviet ichthyologist Anatoly Petrovich Andriashev, the patronym is suffixed with Cottus, the type genus of the family Cottidae. The specific name megacephalus means "big head".
