Lamiopsis is a genus of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae. It was long thought to contain only a single species, but recently, the Borneo broadfin shark (L. tephrodes) was resurrected as a separate species from the broadfin shark (L. temminckii).
Species
- Lamiopsis temminckii (J. P. Müller & Henle, 1839) (Broadfin shark)
- Lamiopsis tephrodes (Fowler, 1905) (Borneo broadfin shark)
