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); legnota: Greek for “with a colored border,” referring to the dark anterior edges of its pectoral and pelvic fins (See ETYFish).
