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]
