Lectotype: ZMB (lost), Paralectotype , ZMB 4621 (1, dry, lost). Type locality: Coromandel , India . Local synonymy: Rhina anclyostoma— Filewood, 1973 :10 (PNG); Kailola, 1987 : 26 (Sepik River mouth); White et al. , 2018 : 200, figs (PNG). PNG voucher material: (1 spec.) KFRS E.476 (dried jaws), no collection data. Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Filewood (1973) , presumably based KFRS E.476; KFRS E.476 not present in elasmobranch cards in the collection; the only KFRS specimen of this species was a dried jaw KFRS E.262 ( Sepik River mouth, Jul. 1966 ) which was listed as found in 2000 but was not found in the current study; possibly previously found without a registration number and allocated a new number unnecessarily, but cannot be confirmed. Recorded from coastal fisheries catches and as bycatch from the Gulf of Papua prawn trawl fisher during recent surveys.
