Description
Original diagnosis after Türtscher, Jambura, Villalobos-Segura, López-Romero, Underwood, Thies, Lauer, Lauer & Kriwet, 2024 [32812]: Guitarfish-like batomorph that is unique in the combination of the following characters: exceptionally long rostrum with paddle-shaped rostral appendix; antorbital cartilages present but not extending halfway between the nasal capsules and the propterygium; 38–46 pectoral radials (9–11 propterygial, 9–12 mesopterygial and 20–23 metapterygial); no pectoral radials articulating directly with the scapulocoracoid between the mesoand metapterygium; pectoral radials segmented in up to five segments; at least 14 pairs of ribs; c. 21 basipterygial radials (including one compound radial); puboischiadic bar curved anteriorly; claspers long and slender; no fin spines present.
