Etymology: Mustelus: Latin for weasel, an ancient name for sharks, possibly referring to the pointed snouts, swift movements and/or rapacious feeding behavior of smaller predatory sharks [strictly not tautonymous with Squalus mustelus Linnaeus 1758 since type was designated by the ICZN] (See ETYFish); sinusmexicanus: -anus, Latin adjectival suffix that means, when attached to a name, “belonging to”: sinus, Latin for bay or gulf, referring to the Gulf of Mexico, type locality (See ETYFish).
