Squatina caillieti
''Squatina caillieti'', also known as the Philippines angelshark is a species of angel shark, family Squatinidae, known only from a long immature female caught in the Philippines, where it is the only known representative of its family. It has a flattened body and head with greatly expanded pectoral and pelvic fins, and is greenish above with brown spots. Identifying traits of this species include the spiracles, which are more widely spaced than the eyes and bear papillae (nipple-shaped structures) on the posterior inner rims, and the relative positions of the two dorsal fins. Additionally, ''S. caillieti'' lacks fringes on its barbels, enlarged thorns along the middle of its back, and ocelli ("eyespots") on its fins.
==Taxonomy==
The holotype (and only known specimen) of ''S. caillieti'' is an immature female collected on September 23, 1995 by Leonard Compagno and Peter Last. It was originally identified tentatively as a Taiwan angelshark (''S. formosa''), before being described as a new species by Jonathan Walsh, David Ebert, and Leonard Compagno in a 2011 issue of the scientific journal ''Zootaxa''. It was named in honor of ichthyologist Gregor Cailliet, particularly known for his studies of growth and aging in cartilaginous fishes.〔
