Élasmobranches (requins et raies) (sharks and rays) > Squatiniformes (Angel sharks) > Squatinidae (Angel sharks)
Etymology: Squatina: Latin for skate, which angel sharks superficially resemble, presumably tautonymous with Squalus squatina Linnaeus 1758 (no species mentioned). (See ETYFish);  guggenheim: In honor of the Guggenheim Institución (presumably the present-day John Simon Guggenheim Foundation), which apparently funded the “study trip” (translation) that led to the description of this species. (See ETYFish).
