Cadenat & Maul 1966: 60 | Compagno 1984b: 270 | Quéro 1984c: 96–97 | Cadenat & Blache 1981: 186 | Sanches 1986: 63 | Lloris et al. 1991: 221 (as Apristurus maderensis)

Carneiro et al. 2014: 11.

Distribution in Macaronesia. Madeira, Azores (Santos et al. 1997; Saldanha & Biscoito 1997; Porteiro et al. 2010; Carneiro et al. 2014) and Canary Islands (Brito et al. 2002; Brito Hernández & Sancho Rafel 2003).

Remarks. Nakaya & Sato (1998) considered A. maderensis Cadenat & Maul (1966) as a junior synonym of A. laurussonii. Two formalin preserved specimens in MMF collections: MMF 18750, the holotype, collected in 1961 in a longline of the black scabbard fish, Aphanopus spp. and MMF 36797, collected more recently in 2005 at Porto Santo.

Remarks. four formalin preserved specimens in MMF collections, the first dated from 1968 and the last one from 2004. Maul (1948) refers as frequent all year round and the same author (1976) refers that although it is well known from Madeira, it is not often taken.
