Zameus ichiharai (Yano & Tanaka, 1984)

Type locality: Suruga Bay off Okitsu, 35°02.9'N, 138°34.6'E, Japan The four samples formed a single cluster closely related to Proscymnodon plunketi (GN5607) (Supplementary Material 1). Analysis of additional sequences of P. plunketi from New Zealand (the type locality) and the southern Madagascar Ridge further support that Z. ichiharai samples from Taiwan are more closely related to Proscymnodon than Zameus squamulosus ( Figure 3). Taxonomic investigation of this species is currently underway to clarify the generic relationships of the genera Zameus and Proscymnodon . This species had not been previously recorded from Taiwanese waters.
