Papuan Shortsnout Catshark

Local synonymy: White et al., 2017e: 37, Figs 11C, 12C ( Astrolabe Bay ); White et al., 2018: 108, figs ( PNG) . PNG voucher material: (1 spec.) ASIZ P0080719, juvenile male 250 mm TL, Astrolabe Bay , Madang, 05°22.530' S, 145°55.550' E, 851–865 m depth, 6 Oct 2010 GoogleMaps .

Remarks: First recorded from PNG by White et al. (2017e); belongs to the brunneus -group of the genus Apristurus ; only known from a single juvenile specimen without supporting genetic samples making species identification very difficult. More specimens needed to determine the identity of this species.
