Potamotrygon Constellata

[Miles]

Any information on this species? Collection Area? Importation records?

(these pics are from the ARRAIA book, yes)

Just curious if anyone else is familiar with it.. Thanks in advance!

Looks a bit like many of the Humerosa/Orbignyi/Dumerilli variants I have been seeing..

Also looks a bit like this un-identified Ray? Spotting on the tail is a bit different though..

Just looking for any and all info/insight.. Thanks guys.

from the book, huh? I was about to compliment you on some awesome rays

I am at work and thus, without my books. However, I believe constellata can be distinguished by the presence of enlarge dermal denticles (spikes) on the rear 1/3 of the disc body.
