1/ Including specimens from the Coral Sea off Queensland, Australia, and a specimen from New Caledonia that agrees
with the Coral Sea material in most particulars.
2/ Nominal from Amboina and New Caledonia; unconfirmed from the former locality, and based on a specimen close
to if not identical to Hemitriakis abdita from New Caledonia.
3/ Based on 4 late fetuses from the Philippines in the Stanford University collections, originally misidentified as Triakis
scyllium. Postnatal material has not been examined.
4/ A Philippines’ Iago is similar to I. garricki but may be distinct.
5/ A Philippines’ Mustelus is similar to M. griseus and Mustelus sp. A, particularly the former, but needs further
investigation to determine its identity.
6/ An unspotted smoothhound known from isolated localities off northern Australia, but presumably more widely
distributed.
7/ Known from few isolated localities off northern Australia. It is not clear if the western and eastern Australian
populations represent 1 or 2 species or are just variations or subspecies of Mustelus antarcticus.
8/ Nominal records from Philippines, apparently based in part on Hemitriakis sp. Otherwise a temperate coastal
species occurring from China to Korea and Japan.
