One record for Gabon : MNHN 1989-1787 1980. Juveniles and adults were observed along the coast, in estuary and delta of Gabon on board of industrial trawlers and artisanal boats (Cardiec, Chartrain and De Bruyne, pers. com.). D. hastata has been placed in synonymy with D. centroura , but Séret in Paugy et al. ( 2003) , does not consider this well-established, since two large stingrays, corresponding to the descriptions of these nominal species, doubtless exist on the West African coast. Pending a revision of the Atlantic stingrays, it therefore seems preferable to keep the name D. hastata .
