Etymology: Hemitriakis: hemi-, from hemisys (Gr.), half, being a genus that Herre believed was “most closely related” to Triakis (See ETYFish); indroyonoi: In honor of Indroyono Soesilo (b. 1955), geologist, engineer and Chairman, Marine and Fisheries Research Agency (Jakarta, Indonesia), “who has provided a great deal of support for shark research in Indonesia and was a strong advocate for the production of the field guide to sharks and rays of Indonesia” (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Dwisuryo Indroyono Soesilo (d: 1955) is an engineer and geologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
