Coquandon

Orthodon condamyi was named by Henri Coquand in 1859 for a tooth from the Cognac locality in France.^[2] The holotype is not among Coquand's collection at the Hungarian Natural History Museum and may have been destroyed during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.^[1] The original genus name was preoccupied by the cypriniform Orthodon^[3] and was replaced by Coquandon in 2025.^[1]

In 1889, Arthur S. Woodward suggested that the species could belong to Scyllium.^[5] Errol I. White and James A. Moy-Thomas proposed that it might be a member of Scyliorhinus in 1941.^[6] In 1967, Henry W. Fowler reassigned the species to Scylliodus.^[4] However, the reported size and morphology of the holotype is more consistent with a larger lamniform than a carcharhiniform.^[7]
