Gillisqualus amblyrhynchoidesWhitley, 1934: 189, Fig. 4. Holotype: QM I.2003. Typelocality: Cape Bowling Green, Queensland, Australia. Local synonymy:? Carcharhinus“ pleurotaenia”— Filewood, 1973: 6 (PNG). Carcharhinusamblyrhynchoides— Kailola, 1987: 15 (Western Papua; Astrolabe Bay; Port Moresby; Binaturi River; Yule Island; New Britain); Eley, 1988: 15 (Tureture); White et al., 2018: 130, figs (PNG).
PNGvoucher material:(1 spec.) KFRSE.180B (dried jaws), Tatana, Fairfax Harbour, Port Moresby, 7 Oct. 1965.
Remarks: Filewood (1973)referred to a limbatusgroup species as C. “ pleurotaenia”Broad-nosed Spinner; close to C. limbatusbut with a shorter and broader snout and less than 85 precaudal vertebrae. These characters and its similarity to C. limbatusmake it most likely to be C. amblyrhynchoides; although this cannot be confirmed, a set of dried jaws (KFRS E.180B) collected in 1965 and part of Filewood’s collection confirms he had recorded this species in PNG.
