Sharks of the Genus Apristurus

Pentanchidae 



Sharks of the Family Scyliorhinidae










Sharks of the Genus Paragaleus and Galeorhinus
ver.2


The teeth of sharks belonging to the genus Galeorhinus and the upper teeth of sharks belonging to the genus Paragaleus are morphologically similar. Some of the teeth of sharks belonging to both genera are available in a comprehensive set of morphological data (Herman, 1991*). Only one species of G. galeus is known in the present genus Galeorhinus, while four species are known in the present genus Paragaleus (P. leucolomatus, P pectolaris, P. randalli, and P. tengi). In addition, there are many sharks of other genera with teeth similar to those of G. galeus. It is difficult to identify the teeth of these sharks based on currently available data. In this site, basically, we have decided to list both genera together, assuming that the teeth of sharks of both genera are indistinguishable.
