Short Description
Original diagnosis after LAST, SÉRET & NAYLOR, 2016 [24200]: A species of the genus Rhinobatos distinguished by the following combination of characters in adults: wedge-shaped disc, width 29–31% TL, disc length 1.30–1.42 times width; snout length 2.5–3.3 times interspiracular distance, 3.8–5.6 times interorbital width; medium-sized orbit, 1.5–2.2 times spiracle length; weakly oblique nostrils, their length 1.5–1.7 times internarial distance; preoral length 7.4–8.1 times internarial distance; anterior nasal flaps penetrating slightly into internarial space but well separated at their insertion (not reaching level of inner corner of nostril); posterior nasal flaps broad; two spiracular folds, outermost fold distinctly taller than inner fold; ridges of rostral cartilage almost parallel, converging slightly anteriorly but not constricted medially; anterior cartilage sickle shaped, pointed or blunt posteriorly; distance between fifth gill slits 2.7–3.3 times in ventral head length; prebranchial sensory pore patch obvious, extending to just behind first gill slit; postscapular sensory canal obvious, with exposed lateral pores, grooved; thorn patches on supraorbit, scapular region, and dorsal midline rudimentary, not conspicuous; pelvic-fin inner margin subequal to its base in males, shorter in females; interdorsal distance 2.5–3.3 times first dorsal-fin base; dorsal caudal margin 1.9–2.3 times preventral margin; upper jaw with ca. 90 tooth rows; 176–180 post-synarcual centra; 50–53 nasal lamellae; dorsal fin usually with a large, often faint, central dusky blotches; dorsal disc of adults yellowish or brownish, often with diffuse pale yellowish blotches, without white spots; young with ocellate markings.
