Short Description
medium size (close to 300 cm TL), Ginglymostoma unami differ from G. cirratum by the distance between the prebanchial and interdorsal regions, and the distance between posterior end of the second dorsal fin and the beginning of the caudal lobe (both being shorter); the new species also differs by the position of the insertion of the first dorsal fin with regard to the pelvic fins and in the form and number of keels on the dermal denticles (with 5-6 keels) and teeth morphology (high central cusp, 4 or more pairs of lateral cusps), teeth formula: 27 to 30, 33 to 35 [22434]
