Etymology: Carcharias: From the Ancient Greek karkharías, shark, derived from kárkharos, sharp or jagged, referring to a shark’s teeth. (See ETYFish); tricuspidatus: -atus (L.), provided with: tricuspid teeth, referring to how “awl-shaped” teeth have a “small basal cusp” (or cusplet) on both sides of smooth main cusp [perhaps a junior synonym of C. taurus]. (See ETYFish).

Issue
Questionably a synonym of Carcharias taurus (Ref. 35766, 43278).
Questionably a synonym of Carcharias taurus Rafinesque 1810 (Compagno 2001:58; Ref. 43278).
Probably a junior synonym of Carcharias taurus, thus, regarded as a doubtfu
