Short Description
Original diagnosis of Finucci, Didier, Ebert, Green, & Kemper, 2024 [33418]: Harriotta avia sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: elongated, narrow and depressed snout up to 56% BDL; long, slender trunk; beak-like vomerine tooth plate; large eye, length 8–12% BDL and height 5–7% BDL; long dorsal spine reaching slightly beyond apex of the dorsal fn; slender rod-like pelvic claspers. Deciduous skin; uniform chocolate brown when skin intact.

Dentition
Upper anterior tooth plates (vomerine tooth plates) broad, incisor-like with 9 (8–11) tritor rods visible (sometimes very weakly defned); posterior upper tooth plates (palatine) with a longitudinal groove along its medial margin and an ovoid swollen area centrally, 3 (up to 6) prominent weak tritor rods on anterior margins; lower tooth plates (mandibular) incisor-like with 3 (about 4) tritor rods visible at the beak like tip, and 6 (6 or more) tritor rods visible posteriorly; pale greyish in colour [33418]
