There are 369 which have been identified and named:-

15 species of Angel Shark
5 species of Saw Shark
90 species of Dogfish Shark
197 species of Ground Shark
16 species of Mackerel Shark
33 species of Carpet Shark
8 species of Bullhead Shark
5 species of Frilled & Cow Shark

However, it is believed that there are many more types of shark which have not yet been fully identified and named. Current estimates put the figure of unknown species at approximately 100, which would put the true number of species at around 470.
