Referred Specimens in Prokofiev (2002) : he noted that f L. petrolifer is no doubt a member of the 
Lampanyctinae, but it possibly belongs to an undescribed genus.

Lampanyctus regaUs (Gilbert 1892:544): Fitch 1969b:3, 6-7, table 1, fig. Ih. 
Lampanyctus regalis (Gilbert): Nolf 1985:56. 
Type Specimen : Extant, Myctophum regale Gilbert 1892:544, holotype, USNM 44289 (Eschmeyer 
1998:1433). 
Type Locality : Santa Baibara Channel, California. 
From LACMIP locality 471 (= LACM locality 3802), 
Upper Newport Bay (= Newport Back Bay Cliffs), Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Orange County; 
two otoliths (unfigured). 
Referred Specimens in Nolf U 985:56) : No specific specimens. He refers to the otoliths reported by Fitch 
(1969b) from the California Pliocene. 
Remarks : Fitch (1969b) also reported otoliths of L. regalis from LACMIP locality 435 (Lomita Marl, Pliocene, 
Los Angeles County), however this locality is considered Pleistocene (Blake 1991; Dibblee 1999).

Referred Specimens and Holotype of fEnsrau fifes remifer (Jordan and Gilbert) reidentified as iLampanyctus 
remifer in David (1943:95-96. 124) : On pages 95-96 she notes that the holotype is not an engraulid and 
should be reassigned to Lampanyctus. On page 124 she lists the holotype and two specimens (where¬ 
abouts unknown) from the type locality, SU 98 (89) and SBNHM 163, and notes that not enough materi¬ 
al of this species is present to permit a specific description. See Remarks section. Myctophidae. 
Holotvoe of iEneraulites remifer Jordan and Gilbert in Grande and Nelson (1985): The authors agree with 
David that the holotype is not an engraulid. In the legend of their figure 2, they state that they “don’t nec¬ 
essarily consider the species to be in the Myctophidae”, hence we added a question mark (?) before their 
listing of L, remifer in the Selected Synonymy above.
