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
.
