Short Description
Original diagnosis after McEACHRAN & LAST, 2008 [3316]: A moderately large species of Notoraja with the following combination of characters: disc width 55.2–62.5% TL; preorbital snout length 12.7–15.0% TL; pre-upper jaw length 12.5–15.0% TL; tail length from posterior margin of cloaca to tip 54.9–58.2% TL. Dorsal surface largely free of dermal denticles; snout without thorns; two main, irregular rows of thorns on dorsolateral aspect of tail and additional median row of thorns on posterior half of tail; ventral surface of tail with large isolated denticles on posterior third, otherwise naked; oronasal pits absent; tooth rows 34–44 in upper jaw, 32– 41 in lower jaw; pectoral-fin radials 65–68; trunk centra 25–27; predorsal caudal centra 72–75; rostral appendices about 80% of nasobasal length, subconical in cross section posteriorly and connected to rostral shaft at node; scapulocoracoid elongate and with slender anterior bridge; piebald, mainly whitish dappled with variably developed bluish grey blotches dorsally; dappled ventrally, usually with variably developed greyish brown blotches.
