Etymology: Figaro: Presumably named for the eponymous barber in various dramas (e.g., The Marriage of Figaro), allusion not explained nor evident (See ETYFish); boardmani: In honor of friend and colleague William Boardman (1906-1963), Assistant Ornithologist, Australian Museum (Sydney), who collected holotype from a trawler (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Figaro is the eponymous: Barber of Seville (opera by Rossini) and of Mozart’s: The Marriage of Figaro. [...] William Boardman (1906–1963) was a naturalist at the Australian Museum who was a friend and colleague of the describer and who collected the holotype from a trawler.

A little-known but common Australian catshark found on the outer continental shelf and upper slope, presumably on or near the bottom (Ref. 11146, 75154). Feeds mainly on fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods (Ref. 6871). Appears to aggregate by sex (Ref. 6871).
