Etymology: Apristurus: a-, Latin privative, i.e., without; pristis, from pristes (Gr.), sawyer (but here meaning saw); oura (Gr.), tail, referring to absence of saw-toothed crest of enlarged dermal denticles along upper edge of caudal fin as found in the closely related Pristiurus (=Galeus). (See ETYFish); ovicorrugatus: Name from Latin 'ovi' for egg; genitive singular of ovum) and 'corrugatus' or corrugated; referring to the corrugated egg cases (unique for the genus Apristurus); treated as an adjective..
