The Whitetail Damselfish (Family Pomacentridae), Stegastes leucorus (Gilbert, 1892), new to California Marine Waters with a Key to the California Species of Pomacentridae

Abstract

We report here on the first documented occurrences of the whitetail damselfish, Stegastes leucorus (Gilbert, 1892), from California and adjacent marine waters. In addition, we provide a list of the damselfishes (Pomacentridae) known from these waters and provide a key to these species.
