Discussion: Reviewed by King (1954) and Repenning et al. (1971) who included Arctophoca Peters, 1866 . Van Gelder (1977 b) considered Zalophus and Arctocephalus congeneric. Nearly all species of Arctocephalus are distributed allopatrically ( Rice, 1998). Synonyms allocated according to Gardner and Robbins (1998). Allen (1905) discussed confusion in designation of type species.
