Short Description
Original diagnosis of CARVALHO, 2008 [3349]: A species of Narcine distinguished from all congeners by its uniquely derived dorsal colour pattern, composed of dark brown, large and medium-sized spots (generally larger than interorbital distance) that are variously fused and elongated, which are surrounded by smaller spots (smaller than eye-diameter) on most of dorsal surface including snout and tail region.
