no formation given: AMNH 2767, three pharyngeal bones [see Hussakof (1908:80)].

Referred Specimens of ^Ptychocheilus cf. P. arciferus tCope) in Wagner et al. ( 1997:15k From UCMP local¬ 
ities V95030 and V95031, Signal Butte local fauna, upper Alturas Formation, Early Pliocene, Modoc 
County; no specific specimens were identified. The authors misspelled the specific name arciferus as 
arcifer. See Remarks section below. 
Distribution of Neogene fP. arciferus tCopei outside of California : Oregon and Idaho (Late Miocene), 
Washington, (mid-Late Pliocene) (Smith et al. 2000); Idaho (Plio-Pleistocene). 
Remarks : The UCMP catalogue lists the following specimens under the general identification of Cyprinidae: 
from UCMP locality V95030: UCMP 142467-142589 and from UCMP locality V95031: UCMP 142596- 
142598 and 143155-143160. Gilbert (1998:32, 42) gives a synonymy of f Ptychocheilus arciferus (Cope 
1871). Note the date is 1871, not 1870 as given in Jordan (1920b) and Smith (1975).

Genus Siphateles Cope 1883 
Remarks : Gilbert (1998), Eschmeyer (1998), and Nelson (2004) placed Siphateles in the synonymy of Gila, 
however we follow Smith et al. (2002, 2009) and others and recognize Siphateles as a distinct genus.
