Etymology: Lamna:From the Greek lamia, a large and voracious shark, originally from Lamia in Greek mythology, daughter of King Belos, who revenged the murder of her children by killing the children of others, and who behaved so cruelly that her face turned into a nightmarish mask. (See ETYFish); nasus:Latin for nose, referring to moderately long conical snout. (See ETYFish). More on author: Bonnaterre.
