“…A total of 95 rays were in the pectoral fin, 25 in the pelvic fin and c. 30 rays in the caudal fin, the latter of which were thinner and difficult to count. The upper jaw teeth had 29 rows, which is consistent with previous reports (McEachran & Notarbartolo di Sciara, 1995;Del Moral-Flores et al, 2015a). All teeth were similar in size and shape, having an oval base and pointed cusp [ Fig.…”

“…It differs from other Urobatis species by the presence of two dark lines arranged as concentric rows, 26–35 rows of teeth in the upper jaw, pupillary operculum (or pupil cover) with a triangular depression in the middle of the pupil, and the lack of randomly distributed, variously sized brown vermiculations or black or white dots [Fig. (a), (b); Fischer et al ., ; Bizzarro, ; Del Moral‐Flores et al ., ; Robertson & Allen, ].…”

“…Urobatis concentricus inhabits rocky‐bottom habitats adjacent to reefs between 1 and 109 m depth (Weigmann, ). Published reports related to this species are scarce, being largely limited to a fishery assessment (Bizzarro et al ., ) and its inclusion in several taxonomic lists (Castro‐Aguirre & Espinosa‐Pérez, ; Mascareñas‐Osorio et al ., ; Del Moral‐Flores et al ., , b ; Del Moral‐Flores et al ., ). Thus, the species is classified as data deficient (DD) by the IUCN (Bizzarro, ).…”

“…Specimens were identified as Urobatis concentricus [Fig. 2(a)] using identification guides (McEachran & Notarbartolo di Sciara, 1995;Chirichigno & Cornejo, 2001;Robertson & Allen, 2015;Del Moral-Flores et al, 2015a). Morphometric measurements of four specimens (Table I) were taken following Chirichigno & McEachran (1979) and specimens were validated by comparison with the original description (Osburn & Nichols, 1916) and with proportional measurements of the holotype [USNM 87539;Fig.…”

This study found that the reef stingray Urobatis concentricus presents a matrotrophic aplacental viviparous reproduction with yolk sac and trophonemata formation. Growth of ovarian follicles occurs asynchronously and continuously with fecundity of three embryos per female. A maximum size of 58·4 cm total length and 37·6 cm disc width was recorded, corresponding to a mature female of 3 or 4 years of age.

An annotated checklist of the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, batoids and chimaeras) of the world is presented. As of 7 November 2015, the number of species totals 1188, comprising 16 orders, 61 families and 199 genera. The checklist includes nine orders, 34 families, 105 genera and 509 species of sharks; six orders, 24 families, 88 genera and 630 species of batoids (skates and rays); one order, three families, six genera and 49 species of holocephalans (chimaeras). The most speciose shark orders are the Carcharhiniformes with 284 species, followed by the Squaliformes with 119. The most species-rich batoid orders are the Rajiformes with 285 species and the Myliobatiformes with 210. This checklist represents the first global checklist of chondrichthyans to include information on maximum size, geographic and depth distributions, as well as comments on taxonomically problematic species and recent and regularly overlooked synonymizations. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the biogeographical diversity of the species across 10 major areas of occurrence is given, including updated figures for previously published hotspots of chondrichthyan biodiversity, providing the detailed numbers of chondrichthyan species per major area, and revealing centres of distribution for several taxa.
