42-62 and 84 of the R. W. Frazier Collection, whereabouts unknown; LACM (CIT) 10165, left and

Angeles County; a number of uncatalogued fragments. 
Referred Specimens in Pierce 11956:1310. pi. 144. figs. 6. 71 : From Benedict Canyon, Santa Monica 
Mountains, Modelo Formation, Late Miocene, Los Angeles County; right counterpart (p. 144; fig. 6), 
whereabouts unknown; scale, USC 3639 (pi. 144, fig. 7), whereabouts unknown. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch 11969b: 14-151 : Examined only the type material (presumably both the holotype 
and paratypes). 
Referred Specimens in Prokofiev 12002:6731 : He noted that placement of f L. bolini in the genus Lampanyctus 
is provisional and thinks this species belongs to the subfamily Myctophinae in contrast to the decision by 
Fitch (1969b) who placed it in Diaphus, a genus in the subfamily Lampanyctinae. 
Remarks : According to Fitch (1969b: 14-15), none of David’s paratypes of f L. bolini belong to the same genus 
as the holotype (Diaphus).
