The monstrous deepwater shark is the third species of the Galeus cat shark ever recorded from the Philippines.
According to Sci-News, the new species, named Galeus Friedrichi, is related to two species previously found in the Philippines, Galeus sauteri and Galeus schultzi.
The genus Galeus to which they belong is a member of the family Pentanchidae, of the order White-eyed sharks, the most diverse lineage of the Order Sharks. Galeus itself is also one of the richest shark genera with nearly 20 species recognized by science.

Members of the genus are found in the Atlantic, western and central Pacific Oceans, as well as the Gulf of California.
They are also known as saw-tailed cat sharks, in reference to the distinctive serrated structure found along the upper edge of the caudal fin.
