FIGURE 2. Right sagitta of Xenomystax atrarius, LACM 44131-1 A reported California record oiX. atrarius (Fitch and Lavenberg 1968, Peden 1972,) was based on an equivocal leptocephalus (LACM 6901-16) from the San Clemente Basin. Peden (1972 stated that "When the specimen (195 mm stand- ard length) is . . examined with a binocular microscope, 15 branchiostegal rays can be observed through the transparent skin. Because only 11 or 12 rays were observed in the X. atrarius in this study, this leptocephalus is not likely to be X. atrarius. However, its identity is still ; This specimen is presently missing from the LACM collections and its identity is still in question. Thus, the X. atrarius reported in this paper may be the first record of the species from Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
