Distribution
[edit]This species is distributed in Australian waters along Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania.
It is an extant species, meaning it's both recognized and living today.[3]
While Cumia species are marine and often associated with seafloor environments, specific depth data for C. schoutanica isn't readily available in literature. However, related taxa in Colubrariidae are typically found in subtidal to offshore sandy or muddy substrates.
