Genus Spirinchus Jordan and Evermann 1896b 
Spirinchus starksi (Fisk 1913) 
Selected Synonymy and References 
Osmerus starksi Fisk 1913:293. 
Spirinchus starksi (Fisk): Fitch 1967:9. 
Spirinchus starksi (Fisk): Nolf 1985:49. 
Type Specimen : Extant, Osmerus starksi Fisk, holotype, USNM 74834 (Eschmeyer 1998:1602). 
Type Locality : San Francisco market, California. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch (1967:9) : No specific specimens. He states that otoliths of S. starksi have been 
found in a marine Pliocene deposit at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, California (see Remarks). 
Referred Specimens in Nolf (1985:49) : He cites Fitch (1967) that otoliths of S. starksi have been recorded from 
the Pliocene of California. 
Remarks : Fitch (1967) gave only a general description of the Santa Barabara locality. The LACMIP Locality 
Register lists two localities (LACMIP 473 and 4684) that list Fitch as the collector. Both localities are con¬ 
sidered Pleistocene (Santa Barbara Formation), therefore the presence of S. starksi in a marine Pliocene 
deposit at Santa Barbara is questionable. 
Spirinchus sp. 
Spirinchus sp.: Fitch 1967:9. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch (1967:9) : No specific specimens. Citing unpublished data, he stated that otoliths 
of Spirinchus sp. are abundant in a freshwater Pliocene deposit, Tulare Formation, Kettleman Hills, Kings 
County, California.
