Antilles catshark
The Antilles catshark (''Galeus antillensis'') is a common but little-known species of catshark, part of the family Scyliorhinidae. It is found on or near the bottom at a depth of off Florida and the West Indies from Jamaica to Martinique. It was once regarded as a subspecies of the similar roughtail catshark (''G. arae''), along with the longfin sawtail catshark (''G. cadenati''). Growing to long, the Antilles catshark is a slender species with a marbled color pattern of dark saddles and blotches, as well as a crest of enlarge dermal denticles along the front part of its dorsal caudal fin margin. It feeds on shrimp and may have schooling habits. Reproduction is oviparous. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does not have enough data to assess the conservation status of this species.
==Taxonomy==
Shark expert Stewart Springer first described the Antilles catshark as an island subspecies of ''G. arae'' in a 1979 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Technical Report. The type specimen was collected off Saint Kitts in the Leeward Islands.〔Springer, S. (April 1979). ''A revision of the catsharks, family Scyliorhinidae''. NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular No. 422: 1–15〕 In 1998 and 2000, Hera Konstantinou and colleagues published revisions of the ''G. arae'' species complex, wherein they elevated the subspecies ''G. a. antillensis'' and ''G. a. cadenati'' to full species, and described what had been considered the striped color morph of ''G. a. antillensis'' as a new species, ''G. springeri''. The taxonomic distinction between this species and the recently described ''G. mincaronei'' of southern Brazil warrants further investigation.
