Short Description
Original diagnosis of WHITE, ARUNRUGSTICHAI & NAYLOR, 2021 [29603]: A Mustelus with the following combination of characters: palatine processes of the palatoquadrates subdivided near the symphysis with a short, separate medial segment on each side; pre-second dorsal length 55.5–57.9% TL; upper labial furrows shorter than lower furrows, uppers 0.7–1.1% TL and 0.6–0.9 times lowers; buccopharyngeal denticles covering most of the tongue and roof of mouth to about the third or fourth gill arch; reproductive mode not known; no hypercalcification of skeletal elements, but no adult specimens examined; dorsal fins moderately large, upright, first dorsal-fin anterior margin 13.9–15.8% TL, height 9.2–10.1% TL; teeth in 69–80/64–73 files; precaudal vertebral centra 87–91, monospondylous centra 33–39; small white spots never present on dorsal surface of body, including along lateral line; first dorsal fin without a white margin, upper half dusky to blackish; second dorsal fin blackish distally; caudal fin with a narrow white margin and a distinct black tip on terminal caudal lobe.

Dentition
Anterolateral teeth with a low, lingual cusp (no cusplets); cusp slightly more pronounced near symphysis, reducing in size posteriorly and not evident on posterolaterals. Teeth relatively symmetrical between jaws, lower teeth with lower cusp; no notch or toothless space at symphysis; exposed evenly around centre of lower jaw when mouth closed, tooth bands not visible from margin of lower jaw towards corners; in 69–80/64–73 files; formula is 35–41 + 34–39 in upper jaw, 32–37 + 31–37 in lower jaw [29603]
