HI to all, i was reading the forum and then i saw many posts about real p. hystrix...Its not so difficult, but not so easy...Im fishing stingrays for more than 10 years here in argentina and paraguay, i know well all the differents areas and also i contribute in some (there are really few) works about stingrays.
So hope that i can help in the nexts days with this...And then the next thead should be "looking for real p. menchacai" (also the specie is descibed from argentina and its not peruvian tiger) ... That its more difficult
good luck to all
If p. hystrix is only described for buenos aires area, the southern place where you can find potamotrygon species, (la plata and low parana rivers) as it is, the thing is easy, there are only 3 species in the area and not more: p. motoro, p. hystrix and p. brachyura...I dont have a pic here but p. hystrix real looks similar to pic N 5 (the one in green colour), have not a reticulate pattern and a nice brown-dark orange colour. When i worked with fish we made some exports of this fish to germany.
All the stingrays shown in the pictures are from a northern area, when i never saw a "real hystrix" but yes lots of hybrids and maybe some undescribed species and unknown variations of castexi. In this area is reported and confirmed the cross between castexi and motoro, castexi and falkneri, and i suposed between differents types of castexi.
