Taillight shark

The first specimen of the taillight shark was collected by the Cape Town trawler Arum in 1963, and was initially identified as a longnose pygmy shark before being recognized as a hitherto unknown species.

The Taillight shark lives in the benthopelagic, marine, depth range 195 - 205 m environment.

The taillight shark, Euprotomicroides zantedeschia, is a little-known species of dogfish shark in the family Dalatiidae, and the only member of its genus. It is known from only two specimens collected from deep oceanic waters in the southern Atlantic Ocean. More
