Recorded from the Philippines. May be a different form of Squalus megalops from Australia. Specimen collected is grey and has a darker apical markings on the dorsal fins; possibly a shorter post pelvic to caudal length, and more raked lower teeth. More materials needed of this greyish form for examination (Ref. 47737).
