'''''Orectoloboides''''' is an extinct genus of [wobbegong](/source/wobbegong) sharks (family [Orectolobidae](/source/Orectolobidae)). It was described by Cappetta in 1977. A new species, ''O. angulatus'', was described from the [Cenomanian](/source/Cenomanian) age of [Canada](/source/Canada) by Charlie J. Underwood and Stephen L.
