Name

edit

Rhynchobatus immaculatus Last, H.-C. Ho & Chen, 2013

Holotype: NMMB P16274. Paratypes: CSIRO H 7418–01 (1); NMMB P16135 (1), P16275 [HO–180] (1).

Type locality: Keelung fish market, Taiwan.

Etymology: The epithet, immaculate, is a combination of the Latin im ('not') and macula ('spot', 'mark'), and is based on the lack of a dark pectoral marking (rather than any white spots) which is otherwise present in small individuals of other nominal species of Rhynchobatus.
