Proscylliidae (Finback catsharks)
Etymology: Proscyllium: pro (L.), in front of, probably referring to far forward placement of dorsal fin compared with Scyllium (=Scyliorhinus, Scyliorhinidae). (See ETYFish); venustum: Latin for beautiful, probably referring to its spotted color pattern, as reflected in its local Japanese name Hyozame, meaning Leopard Shark [treated as a junior synonym of P. habereri by some workers]. (See ETYFish).
