Myxinidae (Hagfishes) > Eptatretinae
Etymology: Eptatretus: hepta (Gr.), seven; tretos (Gr.), perforated (i.e., with holes), referring to seven gill apertures on what would later be described as Homea banksii (=E. cirrhatus) [range within genus is 6-14 pairs of gill apertures] (See ETYFish); yangi: In honor of Hung-Jia (spelled Hung-Chia in Pinyin) Yang, Taiwanese Fisheries Research Institute (Kaohsiung), who collected type series (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Hung-Chia (Hung-Jia) Yang was an ichthyologist and highly talented illustrator working at the Taiwanese Fisheries Research Institute, Kaohsiung. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Gill apertures usually 5. Slime pores: prebranchial 17-23; branchial 0; trunk 39-47; tail 7-12; total 68-79. Gill apertures nonlinear and crowded.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Copulatory organ absent. The gonads of hagfishes are situated in the peritoneal cavity. The ovary is found in the anterior portion of the gonad, and the testis is found in the posterior part. The animal becomes female if the cranial part of the gonad develops or male if the caudal part undergoes differentiation. If none develops, then the animal becomes sterile. If both anterior and posterior parts develop, then the animal becomes a functional hermaphrodite. However, hermaphroditism being characterised as functional needs to be validated by more reproduction studies (Ref. 51361 ).
