"which resemble those of its namesake." Couldn't hurt to just write "which resemble those of the
quagga." It is a bit too cryptic now, for no apparent reason.
Done.
Perhaps "known only from nine specimens caught off southwestern India and eastern Somalia" would make more sense after "Little is known of the quagga catshark's natural history". It looks kind of misplaced where it is now (along with the taxonomic stuff).
Moved the phrase.
Since so few specimens are known, it could be interesting to add where the ones pictured are from, as each would be of importance.
Added to captions. They're all Indian specimens.
"along with three upper and one lower tooth rows" reads a bit odd.
Rephrased to "in addition, there are three tooth rows at the upper symphysis (jaw midpoint) and one row at the lower".
