Etymology: Furgaleus: fur, Latin for thief (Whitley said “‘shark’ or villain”); galeus, Greek for weasel, an ancient name for sharks perhaps alluding to what some may have perceived as a weasel-like body or pointed snout [replacement name for Fur Whitley 1943, preoccupied by Fur Jones 1940 in Diptera]. (See ETYFish);  macki: In honor of British-born ichthyologist-ornithologist George Mack (1899-1963), National Museum, Melbourne, Australia. (See ETYFish).
