Taxon Notes:From White (2014, Zootaxa 3860: 149-166): 'Myliobatis australis Macleay, 1881 from southern Australia is placed into the synonymy of the previously considered endemic New Zealand species, M. tenuicaudatus Hector, 1877.' Note that batis is feminine and tenuicaudatus is an adjective, so the correct ending is tenuicaudata (D Hoese, pers. comm Jan 2025).
Common/Standard Name Notes: "ray" is the marketing name for this species
