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); hallstromi: In honor of philanthropist Edward Hallstrom (1886-1970), trustee and chairman of Taronga Zoological Park (Sydney, Australia), where holotype and paratype were alive in captivity. (See ETYFish).
