What is the scientific name for the Stingray commonly known as the Peruvian Flower Ray? Pictured below. I can`t seem to find a conclusive answer to this with a picture that matches.:popcorn:

The only place I have found info on them is in the aqualog. They are labelled Schroederi in that book. Other than that I have only found them listed as peru flowers. Some believe they might be a motoro varient.
 
peru flower = castexi/otorongo varient or a motoro varient..
 
More work needs doing here,the Colombian and the Peruvian cant be the same species,like all ready mentioned its down as Schroederi in Aqualog i think?
 
all the books are out dated.... from what i was told from the symposium is they are working on it...
 
I really need to know what size I should expect it to get to if I decide to rescue the one in the picture.
