Conservation: U.S. ESA – Threatened, except population segment west of 144° W. Long, which is Endangered; IUCN – Endangered.
Discussion: The type of O. californiana Lesson, 1828, was shown by Allen (1880) to actually be Zalophus. A. monteriensis Gray, 1859, is based on P. jubata Schreber, 1776. Scheffer (1958) pointed out that jubata Forster, 1775, is invalid. Reviewed by Loughlin et al. (1987). Synonyms allocated according to Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), Hall (1981), and Loughlin et al. (1987).
