Neotrygon indica sp. nov., the Indian-Ocean blue spotted maskray (Myliobatoidei, Dasyatidae)
Abstract
The blue-spotted maskray, previously N kuhlii, consists of up to eleven lineages representing separate species. Nine of these species (N australiae, N. bobwardi, N. caeruleopunctata, N. malaccensis, N moluccensis, N orientale, N. vali, N varidens, N westpapuensis) have already been formally described and two (Indian-Ocean maskray and Ryukyu maskray) remain undescribed. Here the Indian-Ocean maskray is described as a new species, Neotrygon indica sp. nov.
