Hemiscyllium ocellatum (Bonnaterre, 1788)

Epolettihai eli sokkopartahai (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) on pienehkö hailaji, jota tavataan Länsi-Australian ja Uuden-Guinean rannikkovesissä noin 1–10 metrin syvyydessä hiekkapohjilla. Sen selkäpuolella on mustia pisteitä ja molemmissa kyljissä iso musta täplä. Molemmat selkäevät ovat suunnilleen samankokoisia.
