Short Description
Original diagnosis after LAST & WHITE, 2008 [3356]: A small dasyatid (reaching 27 cm DW) with the following combination of characters: disc quadrangular, broader than long, width about 1.2 times length; variably peppered dorsally with an irregular scattering of asymmetric black spots but lacking blue spots; snout broadly triangular, angle 113–124°, snout length 1.7–2.1 times interorbital width; preoral length 2.1–2.6 times mouth width; internasal distance 1.3–1.4 in prenasal length; interspiracular distance 13.2–14.6% DW; nostril length 3.2–3.6% DW; nasal curtain width 8.8–9.9% DW; mouth width 7.1–8.1% DW; body and tail mostly naked; 0–22 thornlets in single continuous row along midline of disc; pectoral-fin radials 101–105; total vertebral centra (including synarcual) 113–122, trunk centra (including synarcual) 37–40.
Diet: north-east Australia (data base: 310 specimens): Carids were identified as the most important prey category (82,0 %IRI), with polychaetes the second most important prey category (15,0 %IRI) [14696]
