Etymology: Eptatretus: hepta (Gr.), seven; tretos (Gr.), perforated (i.e., with holes), referring to seven gill apertures on what would later be described as Homea banksii (=E. cirrhatus) [range within genus is 6-14 pairs of gill apertures] (See ETYFish); strahani: In honor of Australian zoologist Ronald Strahan (1922-2010), for “important” contributions to the study of hagfishes (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Ronald Strahan (1922–2010) was an Australian zoologist, ichthyologist and research scientist who was Director of Taronga Park Zoo, Sydney (1967–1974) when the carpetshark was described; the holotype had been swimming in the zoo’s aquarium since [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kunci identifiaksi (pengenalan) | Morfologi | Morfometrik
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 0. Median fins without rays (Ref. 9841). Body brown. Eyespots absent. Gill pouches and apertures 7. Ventral finfold well developed. Fused cusps 3/3, total cusps 47-52. Total slime pores 76-80 (Ref. 51420).
Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
Copulatory organ absent. The gonads of hagfishes are situated in the peritoneal cavity. The ovary is found in the anterior portion of the gonad, and the testis is found in the posterior part. The animal becomes female if the cranial part of the gonad develops or male if the caudal part undergoes differentiation. If none develops, then the animal becomes sterile. If both anterior and posterior parts develop, then the animal becomes a functional hermaphrodite. However, hermaphroditism being characterised as functional needs to be validated by more reproduction studies (Ref. 51361 ).
