The spotted-belly catshark (Atelomycterus erdmanni) is a species of coloured catshark belonging to the family Atelomycteridae.[2] It is found in eastern Indonesia. This species differs from Atelomycterus baliensis in having white spots present over the body a larger first dorsal fin, paired fins closer together, and pelvic fin further apart from the ventral caudal-fin origin.[2] A. erdmanni differs from Atelomycterus marmoratus in having far less numerous white spotting a larger first dorsal fin, and the clasper glans about half length of clasper outer margin.[2]
