Brachygenys californiensis (Steindachner, 1876).
Salema. To 30.3 cm (11.8 in) TL (Love et al. 2005). San Francisco Bay, central California (Burton and Lea 2019) to northern Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998), including Gulf of California (Miller and Lea 1972). Depth: surface (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), 1–40 m (4–131 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Formerly Xenistius californiensis (Steindachner, 1876) and Haemulon californiensis (Steindachner, 1876). We follow Tavera et al. (2018) and move this species to Brachygenys.
