Amphistichus rhodoterus (Agassiz, 1854).
Redtail Surfperch. To 40.6 cm (16 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Kyuquot Channel, northwest Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Peden and Hughes 1986) to Avila Beach, central California (Dentler and Grossman 1980). Two specimens from southern California; one from near Point Dume (NWFSC-FRAM) and the other from the ocean off San Diego (Eigenmann 1892); Punta Colnett (M.L., unpubl. data) to off Punta Baja, northern Baja California (Rosales Casian 2011).
