Galeolamna greyi cauta Whitley, 1945: 2 , Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 . Holotype AMS IB.1622 (teeth and skin). Type locality: Shark Bay , Western Australia.

Local synonymy: Carcharhinus melanopterus (in part)— Filewood, 1973: 5 (PNG); Carcharhinus cautus— Kailola, 1987: 16 ( Port Romilly ; Sigabadu); Last & Stevens, 2009: 257 ( PNG) ; White et al., 2018: 138, figs (PNG).

PNG voucher material: (2 spec.) KFRS E.009A (dried jaws), Hall Sound, Central Province; KFRS E.011, Kairuku area, Yule Island , Aug. 1964 .

Remarks: A set of dried jaws deposited in the KFRS collection confirmed as this species was originally identified as Carcharhinus melanopterus , suggesting that the two species were confused at this time. Not recorded during recent surveys.
