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); dumeril: In honor of French zoologist André Marie Constant Duméril (1774-1860) “in testimony of [Lesueur’s] remembrance and esteem” (not in honor of Duméril’s equally famous zoologist son Auguste, born in 1812) [presumably a noun in apposition, without the patronymic “i”] (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr André Marie Constant Duméril (1774–1860) was a French zoologist who qualified as a physician (1793). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
