Type Specimen : Extant, Sphyraena argentea Girard, whereabouts unknown (Eschmeyer 1998:131). 
Ty pe Locality : San Diego, California. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch and Lavenberg (1971:142k No specific specimens mentioned. The authors state 
that otoliths of S. atgentea have been found in several Pliocene deposits in southern California (see 
Remarks). 
Remarks : Because Fitch and Lavenberg (1971) did not give any specific fossil locality containing otoliths of 
S. argentea , its presence in the Neogene of California is questionable.
