Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann & Jenkins 1891

Description

Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann & Jenkins, 1891.

Gabilan, Golden Cownose Ray, Golden Ray, or Pacific Cownose Ray. To 104 cm (40.9 in) DW (Bizzarro et al. 2007). Bahía de Sebastian Vizcaino, central Baja California (Castro-Aguirre and Espinosa Pérez 1996), to Gulf of California (McEachran and Notarbartolo di Sciara in Fischer et al. 1995), to Peru (Chirichigno 1974), and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Depth: surface to about 77 m (253 ft) (min.: Grove and Lavenberg 1997; max.: Weigmann 2016). A maximum depth of 1,226 m (4,021 ft) reported by Morera et al. (2019) was based on a capture by a bottom trawl and probably represents a midwater capture during net deployment or retrieval. A List and Index of the Publications of the United States National Museum (1947) gives the date of publication as July 16, 1891; sometimes given as 1892.
