A genus of ghost sharks or chimaeras, deep-sea fish with a prominent elephant-like snout used to probe the seafloor for food.
Greek 'kallos' (beauty) plus 'rhynchos' (snout), creating a scientific genus name. This naming reflects early naturalists' fascination with the fish's unusual facial feature.
The Callorhynchus's snout has special electroreceptive organs called ampullae of Lorenzini—the same sensory system that allows sharks to detect a single drop of blood from miles away, but this ghost shark uses it to hunt in complete darkness.
