A genus of deep-sea sharks distinguished by their small size and unusual anatomical features, found in oceanic trenches.
Named after the Doria family, likely Italian naturalists or patrons; follows Linnaean taxonomic naming convention honoring influential scientists.
These deep-sea sharks are so rare and deep-dwelling that most people will never see one alive—the scientific name is often more 'real' to scientists than the actual creature is.
