We describe an assemblage of isolated hybodontiform shark teeth from the nonmarine Upper Triassic (Carnian) Momonoki Formation in the town of Ominecho in Mine, Yamaguchi, Japan. These teeth were first reported in 1996 and tentatively referred to the genusHybodus, but their taxonomy was not rigorously evaluated in an apomorphy-based context, and they have since been mostly overlooked. Herein, we assign them to a new species,Parvodus ominechonensis, based on a combination of synapomorphies of the lonchidiid genusParvodusand autapomorphic character states. A diversity of Triassic hybodontiforms is known from Japan, but of these,Parvodus ominechonensissp. nov. is the only taxon known from nonmarine deposits and the first reported occurrence of Lonchidiidae.Parvodus ominechonensisfills a gap in the stratigraphic record ofParvodusbetween occurrences in Middle Triassic (Anisian) and Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) strata. The global Triassic record ofParvoduscomprisesParvodus huizodusfrom the Olenekian of China,Parvodussp. from the Anisian of China, andParvodus ominechonensisfrom the Carnian of Japan, of whichParvodus ominechonensisandParvodus huizodusare known from nonmarine deposits. After the Triassic,Parvodusis known from marine and nonmarine strata across Laurasia and in South America until its extinction during the Early Cretaceous. This suggests thatParvodusmay have originated in freshwater habitats in the South China region of Pangea following the end-Permian mass extinction and diversified throughout the Triassic in present day East Asia before attaining a global distribution later in the Mesozoic.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:42B4D1C1-F4BE-4296-896B-01B048BDE25F
