Señorita . To 27.5 cm ( 10.8 in ) TL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ). Salt Point, northern California ( Eschmeyer and Herald 1983 ) to Bahía Magdalena , southern Baja California ( De La Cruz-Agüero et al. 1994 ); also reported, although without attribution, from Gulf of California ( Galván-Magaña et al. 2000 ). Larvae taken south of Bahía Magdalena at about 23°30’N (Funes-Rodríguez et al. 1998). Depth: intertidal to 101 m ( 331 ft ) (min.: M.L., unpubl. data; max.: John Engel, pers. comm. to M.L.). Genetic studies ( Baliga and Law 2016 , Wainwright et al. 2018 ) demonstrate that this species is congeneric with Halichoeres semicinctus and we follow Fricke et al. (2020) in removing it from the genus Oxyjulis .
