description: Family Otariidae Gray, 1825. Ann. Philos., n.s., 10:340. COMMENTS: Reviewed by Allen (1880), Repenning et al. (1971), Mitchell and Tedford (1973), J. E. King (1983), Berta and Deméré (1986), and Barnes (1989). Does not include <i>Odobenus,</i> which was included in a monotypic subfamily (Odobeninae) by Mitchell and Tedford (1973), Tedford (1976), Hall (1981), Barnes (1989), and Wozencraft (1989a, <i>b);</i> however, see Wyss (1987) and Berta (1991) who are followed here. Berta and Deméré (1986) separated <i>Arctocephalus</i> and <i>Callorhinus</i> into the Arctocephalinae. Repenning et al. (1971), Repenning and Tedford (1977), and others argued against the recognition of subfamilies.
