Description
Original diagnose after Engelbrecht et al. (2019) p. 1030 [27541]: The new species of Raja is defined by the following combination of dental characters: Teeth with a low and triangular cusp that is more or less centred on the crown to slightly shifted towards the distal edge; smooth labial and lingual crown faces; well-developed and irregular cutting edges to cutting edges, which are arched convexly and are continuous through the apex of the principal cusp; mesial and distal rim around the base of the crown on all sides; shallow rounded depression mesial and distal from the triangular cusp in lingual view; the median overhang of the collar is not very prominent, lacking a distinct uvula and apron; labial and lingual crown edges are straight to concave; a low root with well separated and short flaring root lobes; the median furrow is broad and deep.
