EXTENSION OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF <i>Plesiotrygon nana</i> CARVALHO AND RAGNO 2011 (ELASMOBRANCHII: POTAMOTRYGONIDAE) FOR RIO TARAUACÁ, UPPER RIO JURUÁ, BRAZIL

EXTENSION OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF <i>Plesiotrygon nana</i> CARVALHO AND RAGNO 2011 (ELASMOBRANCHII: POTAMOTRYGONIDAE) FOR RIO TARAUACÁ, UPPER RIO JURUÁ, BRAZIL

The recently described freshwater stingray Plesiotrygon nana Carvalho and Ragno 2011 was observed in the Rio Tarauacá, a tributary of Rio Juruá, in the Brazilian Amazon. The specimens were similar to those examined in the original description of the species and are distinct from Plesiotrygon iwamae...
