Type Specimen : Extant, Ammodytes hexapterus Pallas 1814, no types known (Eschmeyer 1998:729). 
Type Locality : Circumborealis; Kamchatka, Russia; north Kurile Island. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch 11968:241 : He mentions no specific specimens, but notes that otoliths of A. hexa¬ 
pterus have been found in several southern California Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits. 
Referred Specimens in Nolf 11985:981 : Notes that Fitch (1968) reports otoliths of A. hexapterus from the 
Pliocene of California. 
Remarks : Fitch (1967:19-21) reported otoliths of A. hexapterus from LACMIP locality 435 (Lomita Marl), a 
locality he believed was of Pliocene age, but is now considered Pleistocene (Blake 1991; Dibblee 1999). 
Because LACMIP locality 435 was the only specific locality identified with otoliths of A. hexapterus, its 
presence in the California Neogene is questionable.
