bv David (1943:1 IV From Covina, formation and age not stated, Los Angeles County; holotype, CAS 
70114 (SU 689), headless right counterpart (pi. 20a). No referred specimens. 
Referred Specimens in David n943:10-llJ : LACM (CIT) locality 317, Santa Monica Mountains, Modelo 
Foimation, Late Miocene, Los Angeles County; LACM (CIT) 10015 (counteipart); 10233 (left and right 
counterparts); 10234 (left and right counteiparts); numbers 7,10-11 of the Layton collection, whereabouts 
unknown; plus numerous other uncatalogued specimens. 
Remarks : David (1943:11) stated that the types of Sternbergia waitei and Smith ties elegans are lost and con¬ 
cluded that both species should be synonymized with f Q. quisquilia. However, the CAS collection con¬ 
tains the holotype of f Sternbergia waitei [CAS 70114 (SU 689)]. She made an error including f Smith ties 
in the synonymy because Jordan (1927b:191) pointed out that he (Jordan and Gilbert 1919a) had mistak¬ 
enly described fSmith ties elegans based on a photograph of an Austrian fossil clupeid, therefore the sci¬ 
entific name belongs to the Austrian specimen not to the one from California.
