In Gubanov et al. This appears to be the new name given to specimens from southern Africa which were previously referred to as O. centrina. Probably same as O. centrina (Compagno 1999, pers. comm.).

Note: ETYFish and FishBase started a collaboration to complete the etymology for all valid names of fishes. For the current update, the following groups were completed: hagfishes (Myxini), lampreys (Petromyzonti), chimaeras (Holocephali), and sharks (Squalomorphi). It is a work in progress, so the two websites may not be synchronized.
