Orectolobus sp. 1 ( cf. leptolineatus )
Papuan Wobbegong
Local synonymy: Orectolobus sp.— Fricke et al., 2014: 13 (Madang). Orectolobus sp. 1— White et al., 2018: 66, figs (PNG).
PNG voucher material: (1 spec.) NTUM 10302 , adult male ~ 800 mm TL, Madang Bay , Madang, Dec. 2012 .
Remarks: First recorded from Madang by Fricke et al. (2014). Morphologically appears most similar to Orectolobus leptolineatus Last, Pogonoski & White 2010 ; molecular data (NADH2 and CO1 sequences) place it closest to this species but with some divergence; more specimens needed to determine whether this is a distinct species.
