could put in "(esp. species Sphyrna zygaena)" if you think it's reliable.  no 
japanese source seems to back it up though

  Comments:
GG5 (not the most accurate source on these matters) has:
a 「common [smooth] hammerhead; a hammerhead(ed) shark; a hammerhead; Sphyrna zygaena.

  Comments:
according to all japanese sources, it's a 総称, so it does not refer to a particular 
species.  that particular species appears to be シロシュモクザメ
