- Morphological comparison of the holotype of Apristurus atlanticus
with many specimens of A. laurussonii, A. parvipinnis and A.
canutus revealed that the holotype of A. atlanticus is a juvenile
of A. laurussonii. The differences observed between the holotypes
of A. atlanticus and A. laurussonii are explained by size
difference. As a result, A. atlanticus is placed under synonymy
of A. laurussonii. |
