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); manis: Latin for ghost or shade of the departed, referring to its grayish-white color. (See ETYFish).

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
