Hemiscylliidae (Bamboo sharks)
Etymology: Hemiscyllium: hemi-, from hemisys (Gr.), half, presumably referring to similarity and/ or close affinity to Scyllium (=Scyliorhinus, now in Scyliorhinidae) and/or Chiloscyllium; skylion, Greek for dogfish or small shark. (See ETYFish); trispeculare: tri-, from tres (L.), three; specularis (L.), watchful or looking, referring to three eyespots (ocelli) on shoulder. (See ETYFish).
