Glyphis sp.A ("Bizant River Shark") = turned out to be the Common Speartooth Shark Glyphis glyphis (Müller & Henle, 1839)

Glyphis sp.B ("Borneo Speartooth Shark') = is still apparently an undescribed distinct species.

Glyphis sp.C = is now Glyphis garricki White & Last 2008

Compagno, L.J.V., White, W.T., and Last, P.R. (2008). Glyphis garricki sp. Nov., a new species of river shark (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) from northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, with a redescription of Glyphis glyphis (Muller & Henle, 1839).

Heh, cheers for the update.
It's nice that G. sp. nova C now has a valid name.

So the description of G. glyphis has been widened to include G. sp. nova A?

Generally I'm a lumper rather than a splitter anyway...
