Type. Detached teeth ; Palaeontological Museum, Munich. 
A species of moderate size. Teeth broad, gen tty oblique, often 
erect, finely serrated. 
Form. § Log. Miocene ; Malta, Austria, (?) Sicily, Italy, Prance, 
and Maryland, IJ.S.A. 1 
Some of the following teeth have narrow crowns, with non-ser- 
rated edges, and are quite indistinguishable from those of the typical 
Aprionodon; occurring, however, in the same beds as those named 
Sphyrnaprisca and S. serrata , they are provisionally catalogued here.
