[edit] Number of species
The article lead says there are 6 species of wobbegong, yet the taxonomic list later indicates 7. Accordingly, I've altered the lead to reflect the number of species listed...if anyone knows of some reason to not do so, please undo and explain. Tomertalk 03:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, on second thought/AKA closer examination, I see that Bleecker described the Tasselled Wobbegong in 1867, but that 2 binomials are given for it, differing by genera: Eucrossorhinus dasypogon and Orectolobus dasypogon, the former in its own genus, the latter classified with 4 other species. What's going on here? Tomertalk 03:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
