The Saya de Malha angelshark (Squatina leae) is a species of deep-water angelshark restricted to the Saya de Malha Bank,[1][2] but may possibly inhabit waters around the Indian Ocean. The species was described with young specimens captured in deep waters in the region.[2] The etymology of the genus Squatina comes from the Latin, squatum, the name given to angelsharks. Leae is a tribute to Lea-Marie Cordt, late sister of the first author’s fiancée.[3]
