Etymology: Schroederichthys: In honor of American ichthyologist William C. Schroeder (1895-1977), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, for his pioneering work (with Henry B. Bigelow) on cartilaginous fishes; ichthyos (Gr.), fish (See ETYFish); saurisqualus: saurus, from sauros (Gr.), lizard; squalus (L.), a sea-fish, usually applied to sharks, from vernacular “lizard catshark,” presumably referring to its slender, lizard-like body and long tail (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: William Charles Schroeder (1894–1977) was an American oceanographer and ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Diagnosis: This species is differs from S. tenuis in size at maturity, males 57.8 cm (vs. 42.8) and females 69.2 cm (vs. 37); maximum total length , males 58.8 cm (vs. 46.8) and females 69.2 cm (vs. 42.6); color pattern presence of white spots (vs. none); in having longer interdorsal space, 20.7-22.3% (vs. 17.2-20.6%); longer pelvic-anal space 19.2-20.8% (vs. 14.7-19.4%); dermal denticles morphology, rounded (vs. pointed); and, greater number of vertebrae, 120-123 (vs. 108-113) (Ref. 56497).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in deep-reef habitat on the continental slope, generally in depths greater than 250 meters (122-435 m), with deepwater gorgonians, hard corals, tube sponges, crinoids, ophiuroids, and a great number of sympatric scyliorhinid shark Scyliorhinus haeckelii (Ref. 56497). Oviparous (Ref. 50449); with one egg per oviduct laid at a time. Egg capsule grayish olive (fresh) to brownish (fixed), with filamentous superficial texture (Ref. 56497).
