Ils se caractérisent par la présence d'une membrane nictitante sur l'œil, deux nageoires dorsales (sans épine), une nageoire anale, et cinq fentes branchiales dépourvues de peignes branchiaux[2]. Les Carcharhinidae et les Sphyrnidae (requin marteau) sont principalement de type vivipare placentaire (ou vivipare gestant), c'est-à-dire qu'ils possèdent un placenta vitellin comme celui des mammifères évolués. Taxinomie Les familles qui le composent, au vu des analyses d'ADN récente, devraient être révisées. Le groupe traditionnel ne semble pas être monophylétique.
