A Classification of the Recent Elasmobranchii

Cirriscyllium for modestum.
Cirriscyllium OGILBY 1908 is thus a junior synonym of Brachaelurus OGILBY 1907. Regan in
1908 proposed Heteroscyllium for the species colcloughi .
Cirriscyllium OGILBY does not preoccupy Cirrhoscyllium SMITH & RADCLIFFE 1913 for their
species expolitum, thus Whitley's Zev 1927 is an unnecessary substitution.
