Short Description
Original diagnose after Ebert & Wilms, 2013 [20015]: A slender bodied five-gilled sawshark distinct from other members of the genus by a combination of characteristics including a narrow, relatively long rostrum, with a pre-oral length 27.5–30.6% TL, a pre-barbel length of 51–55% of pre-oral length, and a rostral width at nostrils of 4.8–6.1 times pre-orbital length. Barbels located closer to the mouth than to rostral tip. First dorsal fin originates posterior to free rear tip of pectoral fin. Lateral dermal denticles unicuspidate, mostly flat, and imbricated. Coloration is a uniform dark brown above, lighter below; no bars, blotches or other distinctive markings.
