Rathbunella hypoplecta (Gilbert, 1890) View in CoL .

Bluebanded Ronquil. To 27.7 cm (10.9 in) TL (Toby Carpenter, pers. comm. to M.L.). Point Conception, California to Santo Tomás anchorage (31°33’N, 116°24’W), northern Baja California ( Stevenson and Matarese 2005). Previous reports from San Francisco and farther north are probably due to confusion with Ronquilus alleni Gilbert, 1904 , and perhaps Ronquilus jordani (Gilbert, 1889) ( Stevenson and Matarese 2005) . Benthic; depth 3–178 m (9–584 ft) (min.: Kiernan 1990; max.: Gallo et al. 2020b). Evidently this is the “deepwater ronquil” of Eschmeyer and Herald (1983) ( Stevenson and Matarese 2005). Common name, Bluebanded Ronquil, is from Nelson et al. (2004); previously called Smooth Ronquil (Robins et al. 1980). Although Stripefin Ronquil was a name in general use for this species ( Fitch and Lavenberg 1975, Eschmeyer and Herald 1983), R. alleni is actually the stripefin form ( Kiernan 1990).
