Description The Indian swellshark Cephaloscyllium silasi is a poorly known deep water scyliorhinid (Carcharhiniformes) shark described
from the south-west coast of India (off Kollam). Since the original description, reports of this species are absent due to rarity of
specimens. This paper presents the first report of its egg case and also provides detailed morphological data about C. silasi
based on recently collected materials.
