Péron 1807 (page on www.flmnh.ufl.edu), so, "Notorhynchus" seem to be a junior synonym. Yes, it is also widespread in reliable sources, but nowadays this shark is more widely known as Notorynchus. Some sources:

page on elasmo.com - the most reputable website on fossil sharks
page on Animal Diversity Web
Wikipedia page about recent species
several times more results in Google search:)
