Orectolobus

Orectolobus is a genus of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae. They are commonly known as wobbegongs, although this name also applies to the other members of the family. They are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean, chiefly around Australia and Indonesia, although one species occurs as far north as Japan.

Species
The species-level taxonomy in this genus has changed significantly in recent years, with one species described in 2006, three species described in 2008, and one in 2010, while O. halei generally was considered a junior synonym of O. ornatus until 2006. The tasselled and cobbler wobbegongs have been included in this genus, but today they are placed in Eucrossorhinus and Sutorectus, respectively. • Orectolobus floridus Last & Chidlow, 2008 (floral banded wobbegong) • Orectolobus halei Whitley, 1940 (Gulf wobbegong or banded wobbegong) • Orectolobus hutchinsi Last, Chidlow & Compagno, 2006 (western wobbegong) • Orectolobus japonicus Regan, 1906 (Japanese wobbegong) • Orectolobus leptolineatus Last, Pogonoski & W.
