- Pristis zijsron Bleeker, 1851 — longcomb sawfish, green sawfish
These are divided into two
Anoxypristis cuspidata was formerly included in Pristis, but it has a number of distinctive features (for example, no teeth on the basal quarter of the saw) and recent authorities place it in its own genus.[3][5][7]
