Apristurus macrostomus Chu, Meng & Li, 1985

Type locality: off Zhujiang, South China Sea.

The 13 Taiwanese samples of A. macrostomus formed a single cluster that includes other previously collected samples from Taiwan (Supplementary Material 1). Sample GN1013 is labeled as A. macrorhynchus in Naylor et al. (2012a, 2012b). Based on results of this study, the sample may have to be transferred to A. macrostomus . This clade is closest to, but very distinct from, an A. exsanguis clade from New Zealand.
