Description

Not much is known of its biology, except the fact that it has a venomous spine on its tail.[2] This demersal species can reach a maximum total length of approximately 24 cm.[1][2]

Habitat & distribution

This extremely rare stingray is an endemic species on Gulf of Panama.[1] It inhabits very shallow coastal waters at depths of 1-15 m. Round rays, including this species, have little commercial value in Panama, so they are usually discarded when caught.[1]
