Distribution and remarks: widely distributed in the Atlantic coasts of Africa, and as far south as South Africa and the south-western Indian ocean (Stehmann, 1995). The status of this species in west and south African waters, and its relationship with Raja (Raja) cf. clavata, which is reported from the waters off Namibia and southern Africa needs further research.
