bonaespei, Heterodontus Ogilby [J. D.] 1908:26 [Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland v. 21; ref. 3286] Table Bay, South Africa [locality questioned in literature]. Holotype (unique): QM I.1587 (jaws). Ogilby distinguished this species from Heterodontus philippi on the basis of the supposition that this species would not range as far west as S. Africa; appeared in Ogilby without distinguishing features and therefore unavailable. The "type" was redescribed by Reif 1973:165-167 [ref. 19152] but he did not treat the species as valid; this species name apparently was never published in an available way. •In the synonymy of Heterodontus portusjacksoni (Meyer 1793) -- (Reif 1973:165-167 [ref. 19152], Compagno 1984:160 [ref. 6474], Paxton et al. 1989:96 [ref. 12442], Last & Stevens 1994:115 [ref. 23873], Compagno 2001:42 [ref. 26323], Hoese & Gates 2006:60 [ref. 28997]). Nomen Nudum. Current status: Synonym of Heterodontus portusjacksoni (Meyer 1793). Heterodontidae.
