Original answer: Chondricthyes

Chondrichthyes is not correct, because ikhthys is a Greek word. "Condrichthyes" is a constructed word that is used to describe fish whose skeletons are comprised mostly of cartilage, "chondros" (Greek for cartilage) and ichthys (Greek for fish).

Shark in Latin is "pistrix", which comes from a Greek word meaning "sea monster", and has been used to refer to sharks, whales and sawfish.

According to the "Diccionario Español-Latino para uso moderno del latín"* by José Juan de Col, Shark : canis (-is) marinus, squalus, -i m.
