Prionurus laticlavius

Description

Prionurus laticlavius (Valenciennes, 1846).

Razor Surgeonfish. To 60 cm (23.6 in) TL (Robertson and Allen 2008). Rocas Alijos (Gotshall 1998); Bahía Santa Maria (24°40’N, 112°11’W), southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Ecuador (Béarez 1996), including Gulf of California (Krupp in Fischer et al. 1995). Depth: 0–65 m (213 ft) (min.: Robertson and Allen 2008; max.: Sánchez-Jiménez et al. 2018). We follow Ludt et al. (2018) and consider Prionurus punctatus (Gill, 1862) a junior synonym.
