Pachyscyllium dachiardii (Lawley, 1876)

Tooth type: Clutching.

The genus is extinct. Based on odontological analogies, the diet of this species was similar to that of the extant members of Scyliorhinidae . Ebert (2003) listed small bony fish, small sharks, crabs, squid and other invertebrates as prey items for members of Scyliorhinidae . Jacobsen and Bennett (2013) proposed an average TL of 3.9 for scyliorhinids. Members of this family can be found from shallow waters to 825 m depth (Ebert and Fowler, 2014).
