Short Description
Original diagnose after BORSA, ARLYZA, HOAREAU & SHEN, 2017 [25664]: N. malaccensis sp. nov. is distinguished from other species previously under N. kuhlii by G at nucleotide site 126 of the CO1 gene. Most N. malaccensis sp. nov. individuals have T at nucleotide site 478, a character that was otherwise present in a single N. orientale individual; N. malaccensis sp. nov. also has C at nucleotide site 240, a character that it shares exclusively with N. bobwardi sp. nov. and T at nucleotide site 393, a character that it shares exclusively with the Guadalcanal maskray. N. malaccensis sp. nov. is distinguished from other species previously under N. kuhlii by C at nucleotide sites 129 and 441, G at nucleotide site 405, and T at nucleotide site 264 of the cytochrome b gene; T at nucleotide site 225 is quasidiagnostic; it also has C at nucleotide 399, a character that it shares with no species other than N. bobwardi sp. nov. Based on Puckridge et al. (2013), partial haplotypes at the RAG-1 locus enable the distinction of N. malaccensis sp. nov. from N. australiae, N. orientale and N. varidens, but not from either N. caeruleopunctata, N. trigonoides or the Indian- Ocean maskray.
