==Taxonomy== Allocareproctus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1993 by the Russian ichthyologists Dmitry Leonidovich Pitruk and Vladimir Vladimirovich Fedorov with Careproctus jordani as its only species. C. jordani had been described in 1930 by Charles Victor Burke with its type locality in Sagami Bay in Japan. In 2006 James Wilder Orr and Morgan Scott Busby reviewed the genus, described 4 new species from the Aleutian Islands and confirmed the genus as a valid genus.
