Etymology: Etmopterus: Greek, ethmos, -ou = sieve or ethmoides bone + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Captain Knud Moller was in command of the trawler that brought the holotype to the surface (1933). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Taxonomic Remarks
Apparently restricted to eastern Australia (Ref. 87957); distribution to be resolved when new studies or publications are received.
Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
marin pelagic-oceanic; profondeur 200 - 860 m (Ref. 26346). Deep-water; 34°N - 46°S
Western Pacific: eastern Australasia to New Zealand.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 46.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 6871); 39.0 cm TL (female)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 2; Épines anales: 0. Light brown above, black below, with a pale stripe on side and a black streak above and behind pelvic fins; belly luminous (Ref. 26346). Small and slender, with a moderately elongate caudal peduncle and with flank denticles mostly arranged in regular rows. The base of the pelvic flank markings is inserted in advance of the origin of the second dorsal-fin spine, the anterior branch is shorter than the posterior branch, and the caudal marking is longer than the precaudal marking (Ref. 6871).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Probably demersal (Ref. 31367) on upper continental slopes (Ref. 6871). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205), size at birth about 15 cm (Ref. 6871).
