Etymology: Cephaloscyllium:cephalus, from kephale (Gr.), head, referring to its very broad and depressed head; skylion, Greek for dogfish or small shark (See ETYFish); fasciatum:Latin for banded, referring to variegated color pattern of open saddles and circles with connecting dark lines (See ETYFish).

marino asociado a arrecife; rango de profundidad 200 - 450 m (Ref. 106604). Deep-water; 21°N - 28°S
This species is distinguished by the following characters: dorsal sides of body and fins with complex reticulations, with eight open-centered dark brown saddles on body, the first saddle immediately behind eye, second one above gill openings, the third above inner margin of pectoral fin, fourth saddle above middle between pectoral and pelvic finsl dorsal sides of pectoral and pelvic fins with a loop pattern (Ref. 94801). Cross section: angular.
Found in fairly deep water on or near the bottom on the outer continental shelf and uppermost slope (Ref. 244). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018. Can expand itself with air or water (Ref. 244). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Size at sexual maturity according to literature and specimens studied, for males 36.0 cm and for females less than 42.1 cm with maximum size at least 421 cm TL (Ref. 80388).
