Pristis pristis (Linnaeus, 1758) —No common name in Madeira; Common sawfish
Noronha & Sarmento 1934: 110 and 143 (as Pristis antiquorum Latham )
Nobre 1935: 467 | Noronha & Sarmento 1948: 105 | Maul 1948: 139 | Nunes 1953: 134 | Albuquerque 1954 –56: 144 | Krefft & Stehmann 1973d: 51 | Stehmann & Bürkel 1984b: 154 | Sanches 1986: 96 | Lloris et al. 1991: 236 | Wirtz et al. 2008: 3 | Carneiro et al. 2014: 15.
Distribution in Macaronesia. possibly Madeira archipelago, Canary Islands ( Lloris et al. 1991; Brito et al. 2002; Brito Hernández & Sancho Rafel 2003) and questionably Cape Verde ( Reiner 1996, 2005; Wirtz et al. 2013, Hanel & John 2014).
Remarks. no specimens or other material from Madeira was found in major natural history collections. Although Maul (1948) refers it as very rare, we opt to consider the presence of this species as in need of confirmation.
