AUSTRALIA. Abstract.
- A new atelomycterine catshark species (Scyliorhinidae: Atelomycterinae),
Atelomycterus baliensis sp. nov., is described from eastern Indonesia
(Jimbaran Bay, Bali). It differs from other Atelomycterus species
in having a higher pectoral-pelvic to pelvic-anal ratio and short claspers
with the glans extending over more than half of the clasper length. Most
similar to its more widely distributed, sympatric congener A. marmoratus,
A. baliensis differs from this species in having lower total and
precaudal vertebrae counts, more strongly tricuspid denticles, white spots
absent from the body, obvious dark saddles on the back, and less oblique
pale tips on its weakly falcate dorsal fins. |
