Isurus paucus Guitart

(Fig. 5C)

One small specimen (SL-110) of Isurus paucus was examined at the Valaichchenai Fisheries Harbor landing site in the Eastern Province. It is morphologically fully consistent with I. paucus . It differs from the reference specimen (KJ616742.1) of this species from Taiwan included in our analysis by 1 bp.

This name is in current use for this species in Sri Lanka (e.g., De Silva 1984 –1985, 2006, 2015; Morón et al. 1998; Joseph 1999).
