Rhynchobatus immaculatus Last, Ho & Chen 2013, n. sp.

Description

Rhynchobatus immaculatus Last, Ho & Chen, 2013 [this issue]

Type locality: Keelung, Taiwan

The two samples of Rhynchobatus immaculatus n. sp. included in our analysis represent a distinct lineage, sister to a clade comprising several Rhynchobatus species from Malaysia and Australia, i.e. R. australiae (GN2996), R. cf. laevis (GN2065), R. laevis (GN3004) and R. palpebratus (GN2044) (Supplementary Material 1). This species was determined as a new and previously undescribed species during this study based on both, the molecular results and morphological information.
