. Bulletin. Science. 74 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. Fig. 5. Saccular otolith of fossil and Recent Pugonias species. Pogonias stringeri sp. nov. (holotype; LACM 151868), A. innerface B. ventral view; Pogonias cromis, C. innerface D. ventral view. Scale bars equals 1 cm. Measurements and proportional ratios for the saccular otolith of P. stringeri are summarized in Table 1. The otolith is small, subovate with the inner face strongly convex. The dorsal margin has a low mediodorsal dome and low mediodorsal angles, with a moderate posterodorsal projection. The anterior margin is sharply rounded and posterior margin is strongly curved, with the ventral margin deeply to broadly rounded. The ostium is large, subrectangular, and constricted anteriorly, creating a prominent midventral notch, with a moderate postostial lobe. The precaudal depression is short with a moderately long curved cauda. The anterior cauda is horizontal and shorter than the posterior cauda, which is bent or curved ventrally. The outer face is slightly concave and thick, with a strong tuberculate ornamentation in the postcentral umbo area. The paratypes of P. stringeri (LACM 151869 and LACM 151870) vary only slightly from the type in having a slight flattening at the upper edge of the posterior margin (Fig. 4C-F). Discussion and Conclusions All prior reported fossil occurrences of Pogonias are from the east coast of North America, with a fossil record ranging from Miocene to Pliocene. Purdy (1998:139, plate 2, fig. 24) reported pharyngeal plates and isolated teeth referred to Pogonias sp. from the lower shell bed of the Cheswold sands of the early Miocene Calvert Formation, Pollack.
