Galeus antillensis Springer, 1979 USNM 214177 Paratype
sex: both
length: female (3): 345-425 mm TL; male: 335 mm TL
specimens: 4
remarks: Ref.: HOWE, J.C. & SPRINGER, V.G. (1993) Catalog of type specimens of recent fishes in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 5: Sharks (Chondrichthyes: Selachii). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, (540): i-iii, 1-19 Catalog of type specimens of recent fishes in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 5: Sharks (Chondrichthyes: Selachii). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, (540): i-iii, 1-19: Springer (1979) did not designate paratypes as such, but under "Other material examined," listed 33 specimens from various Oregon stations that were apparently deposited at USNM; however, no catalog numbers were assigned. Additionally, S. Springer provided data on vertebral numbers for a total of 50 specimens of this new subspecies, which would indicate that he had at least 16 more specimens for which he did not provide collection data or museum depository information. USNM records indicate a total of five specimens, the holotype and four additional specimens, which we treat as paratypes here. The location of the remaining 45 specimens is unknown.
