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)stevensi: In honor of John Stevens (b. 1947), Senior Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (Australia), who has “dedicated a lifetime to researching sharks around the world, and who has contributed greatly to our knowledge of sharks and rays in Australia” (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr John Donald Stevens (d: 1947) is a biologist and ichthyologist who was a Senior Principal Research Scientist with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, originally in Sydney (1979–1984) and subsequently in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia (1984–2011). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
