Etmopterus burgessi, sometimes known as the broad-snout lanternshark, is a lanternshark of the family Etmopteridae in the order Squaliformes. It is found only around Taiwan.
The shark is named in honor of George H. Burgess of the Florida Museum of Natural History, in thanks to his contributions to the systematics of Etmopterus.[2]
