Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Peters (1877) from Carteret Islands, New Ireland (ZMB 9721). Colour pattern and morphology aligns most closely to Neotrygon trigonoides ( Castelnau, 1873 ) but probably not conspecific; specimens from throughout PNG are required to determine whether more than one species is involved.
