| Scientific Name Notes: | Cephaloscyllium fasciatum was described by Chan (1966) from the South China Sea (Vietnam). The northwestern Australian population was subsequently described as a new species, Cephaloscyllium hiscosellum, by White & Ebert 2008. All previous references to C. fasciatum from NW Australia probably refer to C. hiscosellum or other recently described Cephaloscyllium species. | ||||||||
