Himantura is a genus of stingray in the family Dasyatidae that is native to the Indo-Pacific. In a 2016 taxonomic revision, many of the species formerly assigned to Himantura were reassigned to other genera (Brevitrygon, Fluvitrygon, Maculabatis, Pateobatis, Styracura and Urogymnus).[2]
Species
Twelve extant species are currently recognized as valid,[3][4] formerly four or five species.[5]
- Himantura alcockii (Annandale, 1909) (Pale-spot whip ray)
- Himantura australis (Last, White & Naylor, 2016) (Australian whipray)
- Himantura fava (Annandale, 1909) (Honeycomb whipray)
- Himantura fluviatilis (Hamilton, 1822) (Ganges whipray)
- Himantura krempfi (Chabanaud, 1923) (Marbled freshwater whip ray)
- Himantura leoparda (Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last, 2008) (Leopard whipray)
- Himantura marginata (Blyth, 1860) (Blackedge whipray)
- †Himantura menoni (Sahni & Mehrotra, 1981)[6]
- Himantura microphthalma (J. T. F. Chen, 1948) (Smalleye whip ray)
- Himantura pareh (Bleeker, 1852)
- †Himantura souarfortuna (Adnet et al., 2020) [6]
- Himantura tutul (Borsa, Durand, K. N. Shen, Arlyza, Solihin & Berrebi, 2013) (Fine-spotted leopard whipray)
- Himantura uarnak (J. F. Gmelin, 1789) (Reticulate whipray)
- Himantura undulata (Bleeker, 1852) (Honeycomb whipray)
The former contentious species, Himantura tutul[7] has had its validity disputed[8] and has been considered a junior synonym of H. uarnak by the Catalog of Fishes.[9] However, H. tutul was previously confused not with H. uarnak, but with H. leoparda, and subsequently shown to be genetically distinct and reproductively isolated from both H. uarnak and H. leoparda.[10][11][12] Both adult H. leoparda and H. tutul present leopard-like ocellated spots. These are smaller and more numerous in H. tutul.[7][10][11]
