Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN]. (See ETYFish); ravidus: Latin for grayish, referring to its pale-gray dorsal coloration. (See ETYFish).

Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
This species is moderately-sized with the following set of characters: high preanal length to anal-caudal space (9.6-10.5), to dorsal-caudal space (6.1-6.8) ratios; dorsal fins are large, slightly raked back, base length of first dorsal fin (0.8-1) times anal-caudal space; claspers of adult males are relatively long with outer length about 10% TL, terminating only slightly short of anal fin origin; teeth in about 77/73 rows, exposed to a greater extent around symphysis of lower jaw when mouth closed; 90-91 precaudal vertebral centra; 35-37 monospondylous centra; narrow white tip and thin pale margin on first dorsal fin, distinct dusky tip on second
dorsal fin and distinct black tip on terminal caudal lobe (Ref. 72460).
