;Extinct ''Miroscyllium'' The genus name ''Miroscyllium'' was proposed in 1990 to encompass a single living species (now ''E. sheikoi'') and in 2006 was expanded to include fossil teeth of an extinct species (originally described as "?''Centroscyllium'' sp." in 1972) recovered from the Miocene (23.03–5.332 Ma) strata in Vaucluse, southwestern France. The teeth of ''Miroscyllium'' (''sensu lato'') are similar to those of ''Etmopterus'', but differ in having multiple cusps on the tooth crowns ("multicuspidate crowns").<ref name=Adnetetal2006>Adnet, S, Capetti, H., and Nakaya, K.
