Morphologically these specimens are consistent with Centroscymnus owstonii following Weigmann et al . (2016) . In the tree resulting from our Neighbor-Joining analysis of NADH2 data, these specimens grouped most closely with our reference specimen of C. owstonii from Portugal . The two specimens from Sri Lanka differ from each other by 2 bp; one is identical to the reference specimen. A mature male has been deposited in the BRT Ichthyology Collection (SL-93; BRT-I 0024). To our knowledge, this is the first documented report of this family, genus, and species from Sri Lanka . It is also the first record of this genus from the northern Indian Ocean.
