Sickle Pomfret. To 91.4 cm (36 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Indo-Pacific; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Hatooka in Nakabo 2002); a few southern California records from as far northward as Point Conception, California (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983), also central Baja California (27 ° 15 ’ N, 118 ° 16 ’ W; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and south-western Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2008). Depth: 9 – 700 m (30 – 2,296 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Duffy and Ahyong 2015). Date of publication of the species description is sometimes seen as 1884, but the correct date evidently is 1883 (Eschmeyer 1998 and online editions).
