The newly discovered shark species is called the painted hornshark.
Heterodontiformes is an order with multiple genera and species.
Genetic analysis confirmed that the newly discovered species is the same as Heterodontus zebra.
The similarity in patterns and markings on the shark's skin is the main reason why the new species went unnoticed.
Dr. Will White is a biologist who works at the Australian National Fish Collection (ANFC).
The new species was initially identified through genetic analysis.
The research vessel that found a living specimen of the new species was surveying seabed habitats near the eastern coast of Australia.
The male specimen collected during the voyage was used as the reference for the species' scientific name.
The painted horn sharks live at a depth range of 410 to 751 meters.
The adaptation of human-like molars behind the rows of teeth in these sharks helps them crush prey like cowrie shells.
