Short Description
Original diagnose after BORSA, ARLYZA, HOAREAU & SHEN, 2017 [25664]: N. moluccensis sp. nov. is distinguished from other species previously under N. kuhlii by T at nucleotide site 447 of the CO1 gene; N. moluccensis sp. nov. also has G at nucleotide site 261, a character that it shares with the Guadalcanal maskray and with a single N. australiae individual, and C at nucleotide site 309, a character that it shares with the Guadalcanal maskray and with a few individuals from the Indian Ocean. N. moluccensis sp. nov. is distinguished from other species previously under N. kuhlii by C at nucleotide site 519, G at nucleotide site 453, and T at nucleotide sites 291, 906 and 1125 of the cytochrome b gene; it also has C at nucleotide site 246, a character that it shares with no species other than N. caeruleopunctata, and G at nucleotide site 1116, a character that it shares with no lineage other than the Indian-Ocean maskray.
