Propristiophorus is an extinct genus of sawshark that lived in the Late Cretaceous. It contains a single named species, P. tumidens, from Lebanon.[1] Additional unnamed species have been found in Antarctica, Japan, and Madagascar.[2] Propristiophorus was previously synonymized with Pristiophorus,[3] but more recent authors have considered it a distinct genus.[2][4]
