Taxonomy
editCyclopteropsis was first proposed as a genus in 1929 by the Russian ichthyologists Vladimir Konstantinovich Soldatov and Alexander Mikhailovich Popov designating Cyclopteropsis bergi as the type species.[1] FishBase still recognises this genus as valid,[2] but Catalog of Fishes treats it as a synonym of Eumicrotremus.[1]

- Cyclopteropsis bergi Popov, 1929
