PNG voucher material: (1 spec.) NMV A 14200, female 700 mm TL, no locality data [presumably southeastern PNG ], 1890. Remarks: Only known from a single specimen labelled as collected by Andrew Goldie in 1890. Andrew Goldie collected in southeastern PNG only, from the Gulf of Papua to Milne Bay Province . Very similar to Rhinobatos schegelii from Taiwan and Japan and possibly conspecific. Some doubts exist over the locality of this specimen as PNG given that in the tropical Indo-West Pacific region, members of this genus typically occur in deeper shelf or upper slope waters, at a depth unlikely to have been fished in PNG in the 1890s. Additional specimens are required to confirm the validity of this species in PNG waters.
