Etymology: Proscyllium: pro (L.), in front of, probably referring to far forward placement of dorsal fin compared with Scyllium (=Scyliorhinus, Scyliorhinidae). (See ETYFish); habereri: In honor of German physician, anthropologist and natural history collector Karl Albert Haberer (1864-1941), who collected holotype. (See ETYFish).
