Type species
Raja sephen uarnak

Himantura is a genus of stingray in the family Dasyatidae that is native to the Indo-Pacific. In a 2016 taxonomic revision, many of the species formerly assigned to Himantura were reassigned to other genera (Brevitrygon, Fluvitrygon, Maculabatis, Pateobatis, Styracura and Urogymnus).[2]

Species

Twelve extant species are currently recognized as valid,[3][4] formerly four or five species.[5]

The former contentious species, Himantura tutul[7] has had its validity disputed[8] and has been considered a junior synonym of H. uarnak by the Catalog of Fishes.[9] However, H. tutul was previously confused not with H. uarnak, but with H. leoparda, and subsequently shown to be genetically distinct and reproductively isolated from both H. uarnak and H. leoparda.[10][11][12] Both adult H. leoparda and H. tutul present leopard-like ocellated spots. These are smaller and less numerous in H. tutul.[7][10][11]
