Magnificent catshark
The magnificent catshark or clown catshark (''Proscyllium magnificum'') is a species of finback catshark, belonging to the family Proscylliidae, known only from five specimens collected in the northern Andaman Sea near the edge of the Myanmar continental shelf. Its common names refer to its distinctive, elaborate color pattern of small and large dark spots, which include "clown faces" beneath each dorsal fin. Reaching in length, this species has a very slender body with a short, flattened head and a large lobe of skin in front of each nostril. The first dorsal fin is placed behind the pectoral fins but ahead of the pelvic fins.
==Taxonomy==
The first specimens of the magnificent catshark were caught during a 1989 joint Thai-Burmese survey of the Myanmar continental shelf, and described by Peter Last and Vararin Vongpanich in a 2004 issue of the ''Phuket Marine Biological Center Research Bulletin''. Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin ''magnificus'' ("noble" or "splendid"), and refers to its "strikingly beautiful" coloration. The type specimen is a female long, collected by Weera Pokapunt aboard the FRTV ''Chulabhorn''.
