Short Description
Original diagnose after WHITE, EBERT & NAYLOR, 2017 [25846]: A medium sized (<1 m maximum total length) species of Centrophorus with the following combination of characters: body relatively slender; head moderately long (21.4–26.4% TL); snout relatively short (horizontal preorbital length 6.5–8.2% TL) and rounded in dorsal view; first dorsal very long based (base length 16.8–19.7% TL, soft fin length 16.0–17.4% TL) and high (height 6.5–7.8% TL), inner margin relatively short (5.7– 7.4% TL, 2.3–2.9 in soft fin length); second dorsal fin much smaller in area to first, similar in height to first dorsal fin (height 1.0–1.3 in first dorsal-fin height); pectoral fins large (anterior margin length 11.9–13.4% TL), free rear tip elongate in larger individuals (2.4–4.8% TL); lateral trunk denticles of larger individuals sessile (not raised on pedicels), block-like, not elevated; upper teeth of larger individuals with erect to slightly oblique cusps; lower teeth of all sized specimens much larger than upper teeth, strongly oblique, blade-like; total vertebral centra 119–122; teeth 33–42/29–31.

Distribution
Mozambique Channel (Madagascar and Mozambique), and off Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, the Canary Islands, and Ghana and Togo [25846]
Mozambique Channel (Madagascar and Mozambique), and off Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, the Canary Islands, and Ghana and Togo [25846]
Dentition
Teeth strongly differentiated in upper and lower jaws, with upper teeth much smaller than lower teeth. Upper teeth of adults (based on MNHN AB-248, AB- 249 and AB-250) moderately large, with erect cusps, becoming slightly oblique posteriorly towards mouth corners, bases slightly overlapping. Lower teeth much larger than uppers, cusps very strongly oblique, blade-like, overlapping, edges with fine serrations. [25846]
