Description

Genus Haploblepharus Garman 1913

Genus Haploblepharus, Garman 1913: 101. Type species: Haploblepharus edwardsii Garman, 1913, by monotypy, equals Scyllium edwardsii Voigt 1832 and Squalus edwardsii Schinz 1822.

Definitions of this genus are in Garman (1913), Springer (1979), and Compagno (1984b, 1988). These are easily recognized, stocky broad-headed scyliorhinids with greatly expanded anterior nasal flaps that reach the mouth and are connected medially to form a straight-edged nasal curtain as in many batoids; broad nasoral grooves connecting the nostrils and mouth; dorsolateral gill slits; a moderate-sized anal fin about as large as the equal-sized dorsal fins; and no supraorbital crests on the chondrocranium.
