Etymology: Cephalurus: cephalus, from kephale (Gr.), head, referring to its expanded, flattened and rounded head; ailouros (Gr.), cat, probably an allusion to the vernacular “catshark,” so named for its cat-like eyes. (See ETYFish);  cephalus: From kephale (Gr.), head, allusion not explained, probably referring to its expanded, flattened and rounded head, “much wider” and with larger pores compared with the similar Parmaturus xaniurus, its presumed congener at the time. (See ETYFish).
