click for previous page 186 FAO Species Catalogue for Fishery Purposes No. 1 Stegostoma fasciatum (Hermann, 1783) Fig. 156 Squalus fasciatus Hermann, 1783, Tab. Affin.: 302. Based on Squalus varius Seba, 1758. A senior homonym of Squalus fasciatus Bonnaterre, 1788 = Poroderma africanum (Gmelin, 1788). No types according to Eschmeyer (1998, Cat. Fish.: CD-ROM). Also, Squalus fasciatus Bloch, 1785, Naturg. Ausl. Fische, 1: 19, pl. 113. Holotype: Zoologisches Museum, Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, ZMB-4449, 355 mm total length male, Indian Ocean from Tranquebar, according to Paepke and Schmidt (1988, Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, 64(1): 163). Synonyms: Squalus varius Seba, 1758: 105, pl. 34, fig. 1. No type locality or specimens. Name not available because Seba’s usage of nomenclature was not consistently binomial (see remarks above). Squalus tigrinus Pennant, 1769: 24; (nomen nudum?). Squalus tygrinus Bonnaterre, 1788: 8, pl. 8, fig. 23. Type material uncertain. Type locality: “La mer des Indes”. Squalus tigrinus Gmelin, in Linnaeus and Gmelin, 1788: 1493. Type material uncertain. Type locality: “Oceano indico”. Squalus varius Seba, 1758 included in synonymy. This species was probably based on juveniles with a striped colour pattern. Squalus longicaudatus Gmelin, in Linnaeus and Gmelin, 1788: 1496. Type material uncertain, no locality given. Squalus varius Seba, 1758 included in synonymy. This was not strongly distinguished from S. tigrinus, but may have been based on post-juveniles with a spotted colour pattern. Scyllia quinquecornuatum van Hasselt, 1823: 15. Reference to Squalus varius Seba, 1758, and presumably a replacement name for it. No types listed in Eschmeyer (1998: CD-ROM).
