Description

Phoca largha Pallas, 1811. Zoogr. Rosso-Asiat., 1:113.

TYPE LOCALITY: "quam quod observetur tantum ad orientale littus Camtschatcae", Shaughnessy and Fay (1977) listed as "Eastern coast of Kamchatka " [Russia].

DISTRIBUTION: Associated with pack ice in coastal N Pacific, Bering and Okhotsk Seas, Aleutian Isis; south to Kiangsu (China) and Japan.

SYNONYMS: chorisi Lesson, 1828; macrodens Allen, 1902; nummularis Temminck, 1847; ochotensis Allen, 1902; petersi Mohr, 1941; pribilofensis Allen, 1902; tigrina Lesson, 1827.

COMMENTS: Scheffer (1958) considered largha as conspecific with vitulina; however, Shaughnessy and Fay (1977) and J. E. King (1983) separated the two.
