Snaggletooth Shark
Dirrhizodon elongatus Klunzinger, 1871: 665 . Holotype: SMNS 1640 About SMNS (dry); probably lost. Type locality: Al-Qusair , Egypt, Red Sea.
Local synonymy: Hemipristis elongatus— Filewood, 1973: 3 (PNG); Kailola, 1987: 20 (Yule Island); Hemipristis elongata— White et al., 2018: 124, figs (PNG).
PNG voucher material: (1 spec.) KFRS E.005 (dried jaws), Hall Sound, Central Province, Oct. 1963.
