South Africa voucher material: None. All known specimens caught in South African waters were discarded.
South Africa distribution: South African range poorly-defined with records off the Cape Peninsula (WC) ( R. W. Leslie, formerly, Department of Agriculture , Forestry and Fisheries [ DAFF], Cape Town, South Africa , pers. comm.), the EC, and KZN ( Ebert & Compagno, 2009) .
Remarks: An apparent southern African endemic presently confirmed from southern Angola, Namibia, and South Africa. A single specimen was reported by Smith (1951) to have been caught off the Port Alfred Pier (EC), but the specimen was not retained. Since no specimens have been captured and examined since the description of C. africana , all South African literature records of frilled sharks are attributed to this species for now. Records of frilled sharks from seamounts off Mozambique should also be carefully examined ( Ebert, 2013).
Conservation status: LC (2019).
