Orectolobus japonicus Regan, 1906 View in CoL

Japanese Wobbegong / ƂÂĞḛ

Orectolobus japonicus Regan, 1906:435 View in CoL , figs. Syntypes: BMNH 1862.11 .1.18 [or 17], 1862.11.1.90, 2 females, 1000 and 780 mm TL, Japan.

Local synonymy: Orectolobus maculatus View in CoL (non Bonnaterre, 1788): Chen & Yu, 1986: 122; Chen & Joung, 1993:46, pl. 4.1; Shao et al., 2008: 55; Shen & Wu, 2011: 55, fig.

Taiwan voucher material: No material examined during this study.

Remarks: Figure in Chen & Joung (1993) is clearly of Orectolobus japonicus although we have not confirmed the source locality of this image. A 1008 mm TL specimen referred to by Chen (1963) as O. japonicus from the South China Sea, based on its colour description, appears to be correctly identified. Widespread in the western North Pacific.
