    Cephaloscyllium is a genus of catsharks, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae, commonly known as swellsharks because of their ability to inflate their bodies with water or air as a defense against predators. These sluggish, bottom-dwelling sharks are found widely in the tropical and temperate coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
    Cephaloscyllium is widely distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, in temperate and tropical waters, but not close to the equator. Swellshark diversity is greatest around Australia and in the west-central Pacific, where multiple endemic species are found.
    Cephaloscyllium species generally fall into two size groups: dwarf species include C. fasciatum and C. silasi, which are under 50 cm (20 in) long, and large species include C. umbratile and C. ventriosum, which may exceed 1 m (3.3 ft) in length.
    Cephaloscyllium did not gain wide acceptance until Samuel Garman published "The Plagiostomia" in a 1913 volume of Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, in which he recognized three species: C. isabellum, C. ventriosum, and C. umbratile.
