dc.description.abstract"The genera Hemiscyllium and Chiloscyllium and their species are revised, and two new species of Chiloscyllium are described. Hemiscyllium includes five species: H. freycineti, H. hallstromi, H. ocellatum, H. strahani, and H. trispeculare. One juvenile specimen cannot be assigned to species and differs from all known juveniles. It may represent a new species, but adults must be acquired before this can be conclusively shown. Chiloscyllium includes seven species: C. burmensis, new species, C. confusum, new species, C. hasselti, C. griseum, C. indicum, C. punctatum, and C. plagiosum. Skeletal anatomy and dermal denticles are studied and described for all species. A scheme of interrelationships within the family is proposed. The family Hemiscyllidae and the included genera of Hemiscyllium and Chiloscyllium are shown to be monophyletic"--P. 3.en_US
