Author: Cadenat, 1963
Remarks:
This genus has been included as a synonym of Carcharias Rafinesque, 1810 (d'Aubrey, 1964) and Odontaspis Agassiz, 1838, but is strongly different from either Odontaspis or Eugomphodus as delimited here and has been recognized by a number of writers (Abe et al., 1969, Compagno 1973c, 1977, 1981a, 1982, Krefft, 1980, Fujita, 1981).
