Etymology: Somniosus: Latin for sleepy, reflecting Lesueur’s surmise that these sharks are slow or sluggish because of their relatively small fins (hence the name sleeper sharks). (See ETYFish);  longus: Latin for long, perhaps referring to what Tanaka described as its “oblong” shape. (See ETYFish).
