Squaliformes (Sleeper and dogfish sharks) >
Somniosidae (Sleeper sharks)
Etymology: Scymnodalatias: scymno-, referring to previous placement in Scymnodon; dalatias, referring to lack of dorsal spines like most sharks in the family Dalatiidae (sometimes included within Somniosidae) (See ETYFish); sherwoodi: In honor of C. W. Sherwood, who discovered the shark washed up on a beach in Canterbury, New Zealand, and presented it to the local museum (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: C W Sherwood discovered the holotype lying washed up on the beach at New Brighton, New Zealand (1920) and presented it to the Canterbury Museum. Nothing further was recorded. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 80.3 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 247)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0. Dark brown or black with a grey blaze on the back behind the eyes (Ref. 26346). Scymnodon-like, but with no dorsal spines and the first dorsal fin slightly more posterior than in Scymnodon species; snout somewhat flattened, not bulbous, lower teeth with very high, erect or semi-erect cusps, distal blades and no serrations, first dorsal on middle of back behind pectoral fins, caudal fin asymmetrical, with a short lower lobe, fins without prominent light edges (Ref. 247).

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
