Abstract

Last et al. (2016a) placed Himantura heterurus, H. imbricata, H. javaensis, and H. walga within the new genus Brevitrygon. Previously confused with other dwarf whiprays (Brevitrygon species) (Last et al. 2016b). There remains considerable taxonomic confusion over 'B. walga' with different forms across its range. These may turn out to be represent a series of different species.
