Nine South African records of Caperea marginata are strongly seasonal, all occurring in the period December–February. The world distribution is summarized, based on a total of 71 individuals. Migration may include dispersal of juveniles into inshore waters in spring and summer. The first underwater photographs of this species are presented, and from them and other records, the body shape and external pigmentation are described. Behavior in the wild is unspectacular, probably making the species relatively inconspicuous at sea.
