Short Description
Original diagnosis after MANJAJI-MATSUMOTO & LAST, 2016 [24334]: A species of Maculabatis (to at least 66 cm DW) distinguished by a combination of the following characters: disc weakly rhomboidal to suboval, length 93–98% DW; snout moderately elongate with weak apical lobe, snout angle 116–121°; pectoral-fin apices broadly rounded; orbits small to medium-sized, barely protruding; mouth relatively narrow, width 1.2–1.3 in internasal width; distance between first gill slits 2.2–2.5 times internasal distance; distance between fifth gill slits 1.4–1.6 times internasal distance, 28–30% of ventral head length; pelvicfin base broad, 14–15% DW; main suprascapular denticle large, yellowish, broadly ovate, usually followed by smaller subtriangular denticle; secondary denticles developing rapidly, forming broad band extending from interorbit to tail base by 24 cm DW; dorsal disc uniformly light brown, without white spots; pale ventrally with broad, faint and slightly darker lateral margins; tail dark brown to blackish dorsally and white ventrally forward of caudal sting; plain blackish posteriorly or with weak, irregular pale dorsal banding (in young); pectoral-fin radials 127–131; total vertebral count, including synarcual centra 108–114, monospondylous centra 44–46, pre-sting diplospondylous centra 64–69.
