f Gasterosteus doryssus (Jordan): Frickhinger 1995:752, unnumbered figure, 
f Gasterosteus doryssus (Jordan): Bell et al. 2006:562-577, fig. 1. 
f Gasterosteus doryssus (Jordan): Bell et al. 2007:189-199, fig. 3. 
Type Specimen : f Merriamella doryssa Jordan 1907, holotype, CAS 55494, left counterpart. 
Type Locality : Truckee Canal, middle Member, Truckee Formation, Late Miocene, Nevada. 
Paratvpes : Three specimens, but no museum numbers. 
Referred Specimens : Bell et al. (2006:568, appendix) mentioned they studied 4720 specimens, but gave no 
museum numbers or where the specimens were deposited. 
Distribution of Neogene t(7. dorvssus within California : Frickhinger (1995) figured a single specimen appar¬ 
ently photographed at the USNM, but gives no museum number, from the Miocene of California. 
Distribution of Neogene t(7. dorvssus outside of California : All of the references, except Jordan (1907) and 
Frickhinger (1995), list the Truckee Formation in Nevada as the only site of distribution for the species. 
According to La Rivers (1994:59), Jordan apparently confused the town of Truckee, California, with the 
Truckee Formation that is in Nevada.

Selected Synonymy & References 
f Sebastavus vertebralis Jordan and Gilbert 1919a:50-51, pi. 31 fig. 1. 
f Sebastavus elatus (Steindachner 1860): Jordan 1927:13. 
Type Specimen : f Sebastavus elatus (Steindachner 1860), holotype, SU 3, right counterpart (see Remarks). 
Type Locality : El Modena, Monterey Formation, Late Miocene, Orange County. 
Referred Specimens : From type locality: SU 41 (see Remarks section). 
Remarks : According to a supplemental note in Jordan (1927:13), the description of fiS". vertebralis was mis¬ 
takenly based on a photograph of a goby from the Miocene of Vienna, Austria. Jordan stated that the spec¬ 
imen is not a goby and placed the Austrian specimen in the genus fi Sebastavus.
