Genera in the family or subfamily Brachaeluridae: [ 4 ] records

Brachaelurus Ogilby [J. D.] 1907:27 Masc. Chiloscyllium modestum Günther 1872. Type by monotypy. See Brachaelurus Ogilby 1908. •Valid as Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907 -- (Compagno 1984:175 [ref. 6474], Cappetta 1987:77 [ref. 6348], Paxton et al. 1989:88 [ref. 12442], Compagno 1999:476 [ref. 25589], Goto 2001:80 [ref. 25912], Compagno 2001:144 [ref. 26323], Hoese & Bray 2006:116 [ref. 29000]). Current status: Valid as Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907. Brachaeluridae.

Brachaelurus Ogilby [J. D.] 1908:2, 3 Masc. Brachaelurus colcloughi Ogilby 1908. Type by original designation (also monotypic). Originally proposed by Ogilby 1907:27 [ref. 3281] with species as Chiloscyllium modestum Günther, which Ogilby in 1908 (perhaps by error) placed as the type of a new genus Cirriscyllium. Goto 2001:81 [ref. 25912] treats Brachaelurus Ogilby 1908 as earlier than Heteroscyllium Regan 1908 and this is probably correct [Heteroscyllium in number for Nov. while Brachaelurus is 25 Aug.], but Brachaelurus Ogilby 1908 is preoccpied by Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907 and cannot be used. •Synonym of Heteroscyllium Regan 1908 -- (Compagno 2001:145 [ref. 26323]). •Incorrectly valid -- (based on Goto 2001:81 [ref. 25912]). •In the synonymy of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907 Current status: Synonym of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907. Brachaeluridae.

Cirriscyllium Ogilby [J. D.] 1908:4 Neut. Chiloscyllium modestum Günther 1872. Type by original designation. Perhaps published through a mixup -- corresponds to Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907, not 1908. Could be considered as an unneeded replacement for Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907. •Objective synonym of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907 -- (Compagno 1984:175 [ref. 6474], Goto 2001:81 [ref. 25912], Compagno 2001:144 [ref. 26323]). Current status: Synonym of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907. Brachaeluridae.

Heteroscyllium Regan [C. T.] 1908:455 Neut. Brachaelurus colcloughi Ogilby 1908. Type by monotypy. Perhaps intended as a replacement name for Brachaelurus Ogilby 1908 but text unclear, not Ogilby 1907. •Valid as Heteroscyllium Regan 1908 -- (Compagno 1984:176 [ref. 6474], Compagno 1999:476 [ref. 25589], Compagno 2001:145 [ref. 26323]). •Synonym of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907 -- (Goto 2001:81 [ref. 25912]). Current status: Synonym of Brachaelurus Ogilby 1907. Brachaeluridae.
