An annotated checklist of the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) of Papua New Guinean waters is herein presented. The checklist is the result of a large biodiversity study on the chondrichthyan fauna of Papua New Guinea between 2013 and 2017. The chondrichthyan fauna of Papua New Guinea has historically been very poorly known due to a lack of baseline information and limited deepwater exploration. A total of 131 species, comprising 36 families and 68 genera, were recorded. The most speciose families are the Carcharhinidae with 29 species and the Dasyatidae with 23 species. Verified voucher material from various biological collections around the world are provided, with a total of 687 lots recorded comprising 574 whole specimens, 128 sets of jaws and 21 sawfish rostra. This represents the first detailed, verified checklist of chondrichthyans from Papua New Guinean waters.
本文呈现了一份巴布亚新几内亚海域软骨鱼类（鲨鱼、鳐鱼和银鲛）的注释清单。该清单是2013年至2017年间对巴布亚新几内亚软骨鱼类动物群进行的一项大型生物多样性研究的成果。由于缺乏基线信息以及深水勘探有限，巴布亚新几内亚的软骨鱼类动物群在历史上一直鲜为人知。共记录了131个物种，包括36个科和68个属。物种最多的科是有29个物种的真鲨科和有23个物种的魟科。提供了来自世界各地各种生物标本馆的经核实的凭证材料，共记录了687批，包括574个完整标本、128套颌骨和21个锯鳐吻部。这是第一份来自巴布亚新几内亚海域软骨鱼类的详细、经核实的清单。
