The narrowbar swellshark (''Cephaloscyllium zebrum'') is a rare species of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae, known only from two specimens collected near Flinders Reef off northeastern Australia. This species reaches at least in length, and has a stocky body with a short, broad head. It can be readily identified by its zebra-like dorsal color pattern of tranverse brown bars on a yellowish background. Like other swellsharks, it can inflate its body as a defensive measure. ==Taxonomy== In 1994, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) chief researchers Peter Last and John Stevens applied the provisional name ''Cephaloscyllium'' "sp. D" to two striped swellsharks trawled from Flinders Reef in December 1985. One was a long male, and the other a long female. In 2008, this species was formally described by Peter Last and William White in a CSIRO publication, and given the specific epithet ''zebrum'' in reference to its unique color pattern.〔 The male specimen was designated as the holotype and the female a paratype.〔
