Hexatrygonidae, a new family of stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Batoidea) from South Africa, with comments on the classification of Batoid fishes

- Description: A new species of stingray, Hexatrygon bickelli Heemstra and Smith, is described from a specimen washed up on a beach at Port Elizabeth on the south coast of South Africa. This new species differs from all other batoid fishes in having six gill arches and a peculiar hypertrophied snout that appears to be a well-developed electroreceptive organ, and in the configuration of its spiracles. Other characters that separate H. bickelli from previously known rays (myliobatiforms) are its small simple brain (other rays have a very large complex brain) and the absence of supraorbital crests on the cranium. In addition, all myliobatiforms are neritic (with none having been recorded below 200 m), and H. bickelli is.presumed to live in moderately deep water (400 to 1000 m). The classification of batoid fishes is reviewed, and Hexatrygon is placed in a new family and suborder of the Myliobatiformes. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
