Plate. 1. Heptranchias perlo specimens from New Zealand. Upper and lower: 856 mm male (DM 4952). Centre, and centre right: 805 mm female (DM 4951). Note that side views are slightly more deep-bellied than is natural, owing to the soft abdominal region being forced ventrally when the specimens were placed on their side for photography. Lower illustration, showing dorsal view of head region and side view of caudal region, demonstrates extreme flexibility of the body
