Abstract

The information from different databases is collected to present the type specimens of 19 Cuban sharks (Class CHONDRICHTHYES) with their originals illustrations and associated data. Seven of them are Poey’s specimens, a famous Cuban naturalist from 19th century. The results are presented as an illustrated catalog, with updated systematics, the depositary institution and catalog number in the collection, type locality, bibliographic reference and the title of the paper. For some species also include the collection date, the expedition name and sea depth; occasionally the name of collector as well. All this data was dispersed until now, so it is valuable and useful information.
