Description

Family Centrophoridae

Muñoz-Chapuli & Ramo (1989) reviewed the systematics of Centrophorus from the eastern North Atlantic and recognized four different species: C. squamosus, C. granulosus, C. lusitanicus and C. niaukang. However, recent studies indicated that C. niaukang may be restricted to the western Indo- Pacific (Ebert & Stehmann 2013). The taxonomic arrangement of Centrophorus species is provisional, and a comprehensive systematic review of Centrophorus, including detailed descriptions of external morphological, anatomical and molecular characters (Muñoz–Chapuli & Ramo 1989), are necessary both to elucidate the variation and interrelationships of Centrophorus species and to rectify several outstanding problems within the genus.According to Ebert & Stehmann (2013), the species Centrophorus uyato Rafinesque, 1810, is not actually a Centrophorus species, but rather a Squalus of uncertain identity.
