The teeth of nearly all supraspecific taxa of squaliformes are described and illustrated by SEM photos. The tooth morphology allows a direct assignment to all these taxa and some proposals of taxonomic adjustments. The results support opinions of other authors, that Echinorhinidae represent a separate order, Oxynotidae coincide odontologically with Squalidae; Squalid genera could be grouped into 8 subfamilies, 4 of which could not be defined hitherto; <i>Centroselachus</i> Garman, 1913 is confirmed and should be revalidated; significant odontological differences do not exist between <i>Cirrhigaleus</i> and <i>Squalus, Lepidorhinus</i> and <i>Centrophorus, Scymnodon</i> and <i>Scymnodalatias</i>,... |
