L116 — Trombetas Red Fin Thresher

L-numberResearch draft

Aphanotorulus/Squaliforma cf. emarginatus complex

Identity and locality

Aphanotorulus/Squaliforma cf. emarginatus complex

Rio Trombetas, Brazil

Diagnostic evidence and naming

L116 was used for Rio Trombetas fish within the emarginatus/thresher complex. Competing sources apply a provisional species or genus placement; do not silently rewrite it as a formally resolved unique species. An independent specialist database places L116 in the Rio Trombetas and labels it Aphanotorulus/Squaliforma cf. emarginatus. The cf. qualification is essential: a historical population label is not an independently named species.
