Figure 22h–i View Fig

Material (fossil specimen) 1 specimen, Calabrian , Pacific Panama, Armuelles FM, PPP 323 ( NMB P15560 View Materials ) .

Discussion Te single fossil specimen from the late Early Pleistocene perfectly matches the otoliths of the extant specimens of this species ( Fig. 22h View Fig ) that occurs in the same region. Typical is the recessed, rounded preventral angle, the high and projecting predorsal angle, the small concavity of the dorsal rim behind its highest point at the postdorsal angle, the shallow, even sulcus and the short but wide subcaudal iugum. Today, P. ginsburgi is found from the Gulf of California to Panama in nearshore, soft bottom habitats at depths at 1– 10 m.
