SECOND RECORD OF CUBICEPS PARADOXUS AND ANTENNARiUSAVALONIS FROM CALIFORNIA On 29 August 1986, a Cubicepsparadoxus (Family Nomeidae) was caught in Los Angeles Harbor near San Pedro, Ca. (lat 33° 43' N, long 118° 17' W). The specimen (Figure 1, 360 mm standard length (SL), 435 mm total length (TL), CMM ) was gaffed by Dewaine Holland and brought to Cabrillo Marine Museum. It is the second adult specimen ever FIGURE 1. Cubiceps paradoxus (360 mm SL). Second known adult specimen (CMM ). Photograph by S. Vogel. Characters diagnostic for this species are the absence of teeth on the vomer, uniserial teeth present on the palatines, lateral line scales 90 and long caudal peduncle. C. paradoxus appears to be adapted for a pelagic, midwater habitat. This specimen, caught while swimming at the surface, bears no wounds or diseases to explain its unlikely appearance in shallow coastal waters. In 1976 Ahlstrom, Butler, and Sumida captured three juvenile specimens in the central Pacific in a midwater trawl and suspected they were a new species of Cubiceps. It was called Cubiceps sp. B. They also felt that a large nomeid captured off Portuguese Bend, Ca. on 11 August 1954, reported as C. gracilis (Fitch and Lavenberg 1968), was the same undescribed specie
