Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Ogilby (1888) from ‘southeastern New Guinea’. Previously thought to be widespread, but recent description of T. lessoni (see above) suggests T. lymma is replaced by T. lessoni in at least New Ireland and New Britain; more research required to determine whether these two species co-occur in any areas. : Published as part of White, William T. & Ko'Ou, Alfred, 2018, An annotated checklist of the chondrichthyans of Papua New Guinea, pp. 1-82 in Zootaxa 4411 (1) on pages 61-62, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4411.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1221878 : {"references": ["Forsskal, P.
