Range of Brazilian filetail catshark

The Brazilian filetail catshark (Parmaturus angelae) is a species of catshark of the family Schyliorhinidae,[3] found in southern Brazil . It lives on the continental slopes at the depths of 500–600 m (1,600–2,000 ft).[2][1]

This catshark has numerous characteristics which differ from all congeners in Western Atlantic Ocean, such as proportional dimensions, vertebral counts, dorsal fins subequal, and the presence of well-developed lower and upper caudal crests of denticles.[2] Little is known about the biology of this species, aside from its oviparous reproduction system.[2]
