Dichichthyidae
''Dichichthys'' is a genus of sharks which is the only genus in the monotypic family Dichichthyidae, the bristle sharks. These sharks are found in the Western Pacific Ocean. Until recently, scientists believed these 5 species were part of the genus ''Parmaturus,'' until morphological testing confirmed its placement in its own family. Supraorbital crests on the chondrocranium also distinguish ''Dichichthys'' from other catshark genera/families. Species ''Dichichthys'' contains the following five recognised valid species: * '' Dichichthys albimarginatus'' ( Séret & Last, 2007) (Whitetip bristle shark) * '' Dichichthys bigus'' (Séret & Last, 2007) (Beige bristle shark) * '' Dichichthys melanobranchus'' (W. L. Chan, 1966) (Blackgill catshark) * '' Dichichthys nigripalatum'' (Fahmi & Ebert, 2018) (Indonesian filetail catshark) * '' Dichichthys satoi'' (White, Stewart, O'Neill The O'Neill dynasty ( Irish: ''Ó Néill'') are a lineage of Irish Gaelic origin that held prominent ...
