Bullseye Stingray, Diamond Stingray, Shorttail Stingray, or Whiptail Stingray. To 200 cm (78.7 in) TL (Grove and Lavenberg 1997); 122 cm (48 in) DW (Robertson and Allen 2008). Malibu, southern California (Christopher Lowe, pers. comm. to M.L.) to northern Chile and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997), including Gulf of California (McEachran in Fischer et al. 1995); Hawaiian Islands (Last et al. 2016). Unverified captures off British Columbia and central California. Benthic; depth: intertidal to at least 150 m (492 ft) (Carlise et al. 1960; Weigman 2016), and perhaps to 355 m (1,164 ft) (Mundy 2005).
