Abstract

AbstractChlamydoselachus resembles the Holocephali in possessing no siphon, but a cavity in the proximal portion of the clasper. The cartilages, musculature, and venous sinuses of the clasper are considered. An older specimen of Echinorhinus is proved to have a spine on a soft papilla; Scymnus has no spine; both have the general features of the Spinacidae. Two species of Cestracion are compared with C. philippi. Mustelus lunulatus lacks the pera and pseudosiphon of M. vulgaris. Dicerobatis has a peculiar scaphus, and the claspers end in a fimbriated manner. Pteroplatea resembles Trygon and Benthobatis and Astrape are both like Torpedo.The species are listed below.
