Abstract
Haliotis kamtschatkana kamtschatkana Jonas, 1845, and Haliotis kamtschatkana assimilis Dall, 1878, are shown to represent a single species, Haliotis kamtschatkana Jonas, 1845. This conclusion is reached by an extensive examination of shell specimens throughout the range of the species and of the animal itself. This conclusion is corroborated by no genetic differentiation existing between the subspecies at the molecular level (Gruenthal and Burton, 2005; Supernault, et al., 2010). Photoplates of specimens illustrate differences in shell morphology and colorations at various locations throughout the range of the species.
