Hemiscylliidae (Bamboo sharks)
Etymology: Hemiscyllium: hemi-, from hemisys (Gr.), half, presumably referring to similarity and/ or close affinity to Scyllium (=Scyliorhinus, now in Scyliorhinidae) and/or Chiloscyllium; skylion, Greek for dogfish or small shark (See ETYFish); trispeculare: tri-, from tres (L.), three; specularis (L.), watchful or looking, referring to three eyespots (ocelli) on shoulder (See ETYFish).

Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 54542). Tropical; 8°S - 22°S, 114°E - 152°E (Ref. 54542)

Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?, range 53 - ? cm
Max length : 79.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 43278)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0. Body covered with numerous, densely clustered dark, small and large spots that form a reticular network of light ground color between them; dark crossbands strong on ventral surface of tail (Ref. 13575).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found on shallow coral reefs of the continental shelf (Ref. 247). Probably mainly feeding on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 6871). Oviparous (Ref. 50449).
