South Africa voucher material : SAIAB [former RUSI] 422 (Holotype of C. johnsoni ), SAIAB [former ORI] 430 (Paratype of C. johnsoni ). SAIAB [former RUSI] 427, SAIAB 6169 [ex ORI 2024], SAIAB 6170 [ex ORI 1009], SAIAB 6171 [ex ORI 957], SAIAB 6172 [ex ORI 1926], SAIAB 12992, SAIAB 25351, SAIAB 26878, SAIAB 201700. South African distribution : Mossel Bay (WC) to KZN border with Mozambique. Remarks : Smith (1951) described this shark as a new species ( C. johnsoni ) from South Africa noting that it was similar to the western North Atlantic C. maculipinnis , but considered them to be different species. D’Aubrey (1964a) considered it as a junior synonym of C. maculipinnis , but Bass et al . (1973) reviewed the issue and concluded that these various names were all synonymous with C. brevipinna .
