Distribution of Neogene fS. sanctaemonicae outside of California : None known. 
Remarks : The hyphen was removed from the species name to comply with Article 27 of the International Code 
of Zoological Nomenclature [Eschmeyer (1990:253)]. See Remarks Section for Scomber japonicus. 
Scomber japonicus Houttuyn 1782 
Selected Synonymy & References 
Scomber japonicus Houttuyn 1782: Fitch 1969a:72, table 1. 
Scomber japonicus Houttuyn: Fitch and Lavenberg 1971:130. 
Type Specimen : Extant, Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, type specimen unknown (Eschmeyer 1995:807). 
Type Locality : Off Japan. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch (T967a:72. tablelk From LACMIP locality 423 (= LACM locality 3245), Signal 
Hill (= Interstate 405 and Cherry Avenue, Long Beach), Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Los 
Angeles County; 15 otoliths. 
From LACMIP locality 471 (= LACM locality 3802), Upper Newport Bay (= Newport Back Bay Cliffs), 
Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Orange County; three otoliths. 
From LACMIP locality 31425, Downtown Los Angeles, Pico Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Los Angeles 
County; four otoliths. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch and Lavenberg 11971:130k No specific specimens, but otoliths of S. japonicus 
are present, although not abundant, in several Pliocene deposits in southern California, and skeletal 
imprints and otoliths of Scomber (possibly S. japonicus ) have been found in several Miocene outcrops. 
Remarks : According to Powell (1998:70-71), LACMIP locality 423 (= LACM locality 3245) is in Pleistocene 
strata, therefore a Pliocene record of S. japonicus from this locality is questionable.
