03FF87F0FFBDE3394EFC1B3A0346C330.taxon	description	Fowler (1941) cited a record of Hemitriakis japanica from Amboina, while Fourmanoir & Rancurel (1972) reported H. japanica from New Caledonia. We have not been able to verify the Amboina record, but a large New Caledonian Hemitriakis was deposited by P. Fourmanoir in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, as Galeorhinus japanicus. This specimen has a much higher vertebral count than all other Hemitriakis except H. abdita and may represent another undescribed species of Hemitriakis or possibly an adult of H. abdita.	en	White, William T., Compagno, Leonard J.

03FF87F0FFBCE3324EFC1FA50331C699.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Hemitriakis with large, horizontally oval eyes (length 2.7 – 3.3 % TL, 2.3 – 4.2 times eye height); snout narrow, acutely pointed, prenarial length 4.5 – 5.1 % TL, preoral snout 1.8 – 2.0 times internarial width; posterior nasal flaps present, but small; pre-first dorsal length 2.3 – 2.9 times anal – caudal space; second dorsalfin height 6.5 – 7.1 % TL; 69 rows of teeth in both jaws (based on one paratype); dorsal, pectoral and anal fins strongly falcate in adults; first dorsal origin anterior to pectoral free rear tips; total vertebral counts 143 – 160, precaudal counts 105 – 122, monospondylous precaudal counts 35 – 38; late-term embryos with a bold colour pattern of complicated saddles and rings over head, body and fins; small post-natal juveniles (<500 mm TL) with faint dark blotches and bars; larger juveniles and adults plain except for white margins on fins and a black caudal fin tip; males mature at ~ 900 mm TL, females at ~ 1000 mm TL. This species superficially closely resembles other members of this genus, H. abdita, H. complicofasciata, H. falcata, H. leucoperiptera and H. japanica. From H. abdita and H. complicofasciata, it is distinguished by its lower vertebral counts (precaudal count 105 – 122 vs. 124 – 131) and from H. leucoperiptera by its higher vertebral counts (precaudal count 105 – 122 vs. 94 – 96). From H. japanica, it differs in number of monospondylous centra (35 – 38 vs. 39 – 43) and structure of the cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO 1) gene. It is most similar to H. falcata, but differs in colour of late-term embryos and newborns (complicated pattern of bars, lines and rings over body and fins vs. a series of dusky saddles), second dorsal fin height (6.5 – 7.1 vs. 5.9 – 6.5 % TL), narrower eye (height 0.8 – 1.2 vs. 1.3 – 1.6 % TL) and shorter mouth (length 1.9 – 2.2 vs. 2.2 – 2.6 % TL).	en	White, William T., Compagno, Leonard J.

In alcohol: larger types (> 55 cm TL) are greyish-brown above, lighter below, with prominent whitetipped dorsal, pectoral, pelvic, and caudal fins. Dorsal and pectoral fins with white apical region which extends along posterior margin becoming narrower towards the free rear tip; abruptly dusky below their white tips which highlights these markings. Pelvic and anal fins with less well demarcated white margins, but still evident. Caudal fin with white apical region on lower ventral lobe, extending as a narrow margin along postventral margins; subterminal margin dusky anteriorly, white-tipped apically; terminal margin white-edged for lower half to two thirds; tip distinctly blackish, extending as a blackish margin down dorsal third to half of terminal margin.

03FF87F0FFBCE3324EFC1FA50331C699.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named in honour of Dr Indroyono Soesilo, who has provided a great deal of support for shark research in Indonesia and was a strong advocate for the production of the field guide to sharks and rays of Indonesia (White et al., 2006). Comparisons. Compagno (1970, 1979, 1984, 1988) noted that Hemitriakis is readily distinguished from other triakid genera but that the species of Hemitriakis are morphologically very similar in external appearance. Subtle differences in external morphology between these species are masked by inadequate series of specimens, by considerable growth changes in proportions and fin and body shape between juveniles and adults, and by considerable variation in some characters within individuals of the same maturity class. There are few morphometric and external morphological characters that separate the species in our limited sample. Compagno & Stevens (1993) provide detailed morphometrics of H. falcata, H. abdita, H. japanica and a New Caledonian Hemitriakis, and Takahashi & Nakaya (2004) also provide detailed morphometrics for H. complicofasciata.	en	White, William T., Compagno, Leonard J.

03FF87F0FFBCE3324EFC1FA50331C699.taxon	description	Hemitriakis indroyonoi is morphologically similar to H. falcata, but they differ in the following characters (based on specimens> 400 mm TL; Compagno & Stevens, 1993): second dorsal fin taller (height 6.5 – 7.1 vs. 5.9 – 6.5 % TL); slightly longer prenarial length 4.5 – 5.1 vs. 3.7 – 4.5 % TL in H. falcata; narrower eye (height 0.8 – 1.2 vs. 1.3 – 1.6 % TL); slightly shorter mouth (length 1.9 – 2.2 vs. 2.2 – 2.6 % TL).	en	White, William T., Compagno, Leonard J.

03FF87F0FFBCE3324EFC1FA50331C699.taxon	description	The chondrocrania of Hemitriakis indroyonoi, H. falcata and H. japanica are generally similar but differ in some minor details. The chondrocrania of H. indroyonoi is morphologically closer to that of H. falcata than that of H. abdita and H. japanica. For example, the former species have a much shorter medial rostral cartilage, indicating a shorter rostrum, than the two latter species (45 – 46 vs. 59 – 63 % of nasobasal length). The crania of H. indroyonoi and H. falcata are similar, but differ in several subtle characters including: lateral rostrals horizontal (vs. arched ventrally), nasal capsules slightly smaller (width 75 vs. 82 % of nasobasal length) and otic capsules slightly larger (length 29 vs. 25 % of nasobasal length). Some ontogenetic differences in morphology were evident from the measured type specimens of H. indroyonoi. The single late-term embryo measured (CSIRO H 6818 – 01, male 254 mm TL) differed from the measured post-natal types (> 497 mm TL) in a number of proportional characters including: longer preoral length (8.3 vs. 6.1 – 7.3 % TL); longer prespiracular length (12.5 vs. 9.4 – 10.9 % TL); longer prebranchial length (17.1 vs. 14.2 – 15.9 % TL); longer head (length 21.3 vs. 17.8 – 19.8 % TL); longer predorsal length (28.7 vs. 24.1 – 26.2 % TL); larger eyes (length 5.0 vs. 2.7 – 3.3 % TL); larger spiracle (1.1 vs. 0.5 – 0.6 % TL); smaller first dorsal fin (length 12.4 vs. 13.0 – 14.6 % TL, height 6.4 vs. 8.2 – 9.4 % TL, posterior margin 5.9 vs. 8.8 – 10.0 % TL). Hemitriakis sp. A [sensu Compagno et al., 2005] is still problematical because of its inadequate sample of four fetuses (SU 40097). It clearly differs from the sympatric H. leucoperiptera in coloration of the young and vertebral counts. The colour pattern of the young more closely resembles H. complicofasciata and H. indroyonoi, but the vertebral counts (PC = 116, MP = 44) lay between these species. Thus, this is likely to represent another undescribed species of Hemitriakis, but further samples are required, particularly of adult specimens.	en	White, William T., Compagno, Leonard J. V.
