This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: a slender body with a narrow caudal fin, pointed dorsal and ventral caudal tips, and dermal dentils with markedly slender crowns; it is clearly distinct from its regional congeners S. acanthias, S. acutipinnis, Squalus cf. blainvillei, Squalus cf. mitsukurii, S. megalops, by having a ventral caudal lobe which is mostly white with a black caudal blotch near lower caudal origin; differs from S. megalops by having a more elongated first dorsal fin spine, with length 4.9% TL (4.2-5.1%) and corresponding to 0.6 (0.5-0.7) times the height of first dorsal fin in adult specimens (vs. 2.7-3.7% TL, 0.3-0.4 times in S. megalops), slender and upright dorsal fins (vs. wide and low), postventral caudal margins not uniformly white (vs. uniformly white); it differs from S. brevirostris and S. acanthias by its greater preoral length, its length 9.5-11.1% TL (vs. 8.5-9.1% TL for brevirostris and 8.3-9.2% TL for acanthias); differs from S. brevirostris and S. crassispinus by the thickness of its first dorsal fin spine of adults, base length 0.8-1.0% TL (vs. 0.5-0.7% TL for brevirostris and 1.1-1.3% TL for crassispinus); adults of Squalus mahia differs from S. acanthias and S. crassispinus by its first dorsal fin anterior margin length 10.5-12.2% TL (vs. 6.8-9.8% TL for acanthias and 12.6-12.9% TL for crassispinus); differs from S. acanthias and S. margaretsmithae by its greater prespiracular length. 12.4-13.7% TL (vs. 10.7-12.0% TL for acanthias and 11.5-12.3% TL for margaretsmithae); differs from S. chloroculus, S. edmundsi, S. lalannei, S. mitsukurii, S. montalbani, S. nasutus by having a smaller snout with prenarial length shorter than distance from nostril to upper labial furrow, and unicuspid and lanceolate dermal dentils (vs. prenarial length greater than distance from nostril to upper labial furrow, and tricuspid and rhomboid dermal dentils) (Ref. 116247).
A mesopelagic species, where its distribution indicates that it is a warmer-water species
associated with the Mozambique and Agulhas currents (Ref. 116247).
