This is a very small ray, measuring 35 millimetres across the disk, 

 and 74 millimetres in total length. The umbilical sac, however, has com- 

 pletely disappeared. The disk is broadly rounded at its lateral edges 

 and in front. The tip of the rostrum appears as a minute papilla in a 

 slight resilient depression of the anterior contour. There is a slight 

 incurvature of the margins opposite the eyes, separating anterior and 

 lateral prominences of the general outline. The shape of the disk, 

 therefore, approaches that of Bonaparte's figure of R. rachc/a, 1 but the 

 latter has the anterior margin more truncate and the lateral margins 

 less rounded.
