Ray ID

This is a wild ray and from what I am told they are calling them white spot Henlei

this is a normal scobina!

our pups only got one row of spines, the adults got three ...

this is a pup, as you see one row

this is her mother, she's got three rows of spines ...

Not me!.


The pics are 2 different wild caught rays.
I thought Scobina also, or even possibly Signata (?).
I am so far unable to obtain a better catch location than " central Brazil", otherwise a bit secretive that's only a couple million square miles so...
LOL
Pretty rays tho no?!


@Peter.
your observation about rows of spines is interesting, do the pups later develop more spines?

I would like to change my guess to scobina

 

[earthstudent]

I have no idea but if I had to guess I would say scobina/henlei but very well could just be scobina, either way, very nice looking ray.

ops double post..

DW...

Scobina. I had a few in my life. The rows of short, conical tail spines are a dead giveaway.
