Kiwala collected one alive in Cabo San Lucas submarine canyon at 53 m on February 20, 1967, which was not recorded, and llic species was observed from the submersible, Dccpstar, between 100 and 150 m in the same canyon. One of the specimens reported by Freihofer was taken at Catalina Island on September 22, 1965 at a depth of 13 m. On November 16, 1970 the first Chaetodon falcifer recorded from the mainland of California was captured near La Jolla at a depth of 21 m by the authors. The animal was approximately 135 mm in length, about the same size as the type specimen.
