Etymology: Atelomycterus: ateles (Gr.), imperfect, unfilled or exempt; mycteros (Gr.), nostril, referring to lack of posterior nasal valve (See ETYFish); marmoratus: Latin for marbled, referring to white blotches over large black spots and bars (See ETYFish).

Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?, range 49 - ? cm
Max length : 70.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 244)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0. Saddle markings obsolete, light grey and white spots outlined by large black spots, bars and lines (Ref. 11146).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
A common but little-known inshore shark found on coral reefs and though to inhabit crevices and holes on reefs (Ref. 11146). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Caught occasionally by various fisheries operating over coral reefs and probably adversely affected by dynamite fishing (Ref.58048). Utilized fresh and dried-salted for food or processed for fishmeal and oil (Ref. 244).
