Short Description
Original diagnose after White, Stewart, O’Neill & Naylor, 2024 [32879]: A large bristle shark with the following combination of characteristics: preanal length, 58.1–62.1% TL; pre-first dorsal length, 50.5–53.4% TL; prenarial length moderately long, 4.0–5.2% TL; head depressed, its height 0.6–1.1 times its width; mouth moderately wide, its width 9.0–11.4% TL; lower labial furrows distinctly longer than uppers (uppers 1.4–2.0% TL, lowers 2.0–2.8% TL); anal-fin moderately large, its base 11.0–12.0% TL, posterior margin, 5.4–7.4% TL; pectoral–pelvic space, 21.2–26.1% TL; body uniformly medium brown to greyish brown; fins with white margins, variable but mostly broad; teeth in 102–106 files in upper jaw and ~94–101 lower jaw; monospondylous centra, 45–47; precaudal centra, 95–101; total centra, 133–143.

Dentition
Teeth of both jaws exposed when mouth closed, visibly larger in adult males than females (Figure 24); anterior teeth of adult females with mostly 5 cusps, juvenile (NMNZ P.025376) with mostly 6 cusps; central cusp longest and upright, flanked by smaller but distinct lateral cusps, much larger in adult males (Figure 26); central cusp becoming slightly shorter posteriorly and becoming slightly oblique, lateral cusps remaining the same size, posteriormost teeth with shorter central cusp, but still larger than lateral cusps (much larger in adult males); teeth in 102–106 files in upper jaw, ~94–101 files in lower jaw.
