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.
