The shortbelly catshark (Apristurus breviventralis) is a catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae. It is found in the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean. This species most closely resembles the western Atlantic species Apristurus canutus, but is distinguishable in having greater nostril length than internarial width and longer claspers in adult males.[2]
