discussion
Remarks: Martin (1972) listed C. leucas in Honduras based on a photograph taken by Strong (1934) in the Patuca River. This is the only documented report of C. leucas in Honduran freshwaters. Greenfield & Thomerson (1997) referred to a C. leucas in the “ Patula River ”, which we assume is an error and they were in fact referring to the Patuca River. Rhizoprionodon porosus (Poey, 1861). Caribbean sharpnose shark, cazón antillano. Native. Department: Gracias a Dios. Drainages: Atlantic slope: Patuca and Coco.
