Quote Squalus acanthias group; Squalus acanthias acanthias (North Atlantic); Squalus acanthias africana (southern Africa); Squalus acanthias ponticus (Black Sea); Squalus acanthias subspecies (Australia and New Zealand). S. a. africana may be a valid species also, but would require a replacement name as it is a junior homonym of S. africanus Gmelin, 1789 (= Poroderma africanum, Scyliorhinidae).
