Dwardius is an extinct genus of cardabiodontid[1] sharks which existed during the Cretaceous period in what is now Australia, England,[2] France, and India. It was described by Mikael Siverson in 1999,[3] as a new genus for the species Cretalamna woodwardi, which had been described by J. Hermann in 1977.[4] Another species, D. siversoni, was described from the middle Albian of northeastern France by V.I. Zhelezko in 2000; the species epithet honours the author of the genus.[5] A new species, D. sudindicus, was described by Charlie J. Underwood, Anjali Goswami, G.V.R. Prasad, Omkar Verma, and John J. Flynn in 2011, from the Cretaceous Karai Formation of India.[6]
