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]
