Re: Two Names
editI wouldn't worry about it. "Hexanchus nakamurai" is the primary, legit scientific name you will find just about everywhere, while "Hexanchus vitulus" is a name you might find in some older literature. That is likely why the name is listed as a synonym, and why inputing the name to Wikipedia's search engine will bring you to the same place. Happy trails!
