Distribution map of Pontella agassizi by geographical zones
Species Pontella agassizi - Distribution map 2issued from : A.K. Heinrich in Zool. Zh., 1969, 48 (10) [p.1461, Fig.6].
Distribution of four species of Pontellidae in the Pacific Ocean.
1: Pontella fera; 2: Pontella danae; 3:Pontella agassizi; 4: Pontella valida; 5: stations
Loc:
off California, W Baja California, Gulf of California, G. of Tehuantepec, W Costa Rica
N: 10
Lg.:
(47) F: 4,3; M: 3,8; {F: 4,30; M: 3,80}
Rem.: After Brinton & al. (1986 (p.246) Wilson's (1950) Gulf og California record of P. atlantica is probably based on misidentification of agassizi.
