Pastinachus
''Pastinachus'' is a genus of stingrays in the family Dasyatidae. This genus was long held to be monotypic, containing only the cowtail stingray (''P. sephen''). Recent studies of Indo-Pacific stingrays have revealed that there are in fact a number of different species of ''Pastinachus'', and that some former synonym (taxonomy), junior synonyms may need to be resurrected.

Cowtail Stingray
The cowtail stingray (''Pastinachus sephen'') is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, widespread in the Indo-Pacific region and occasionally entering freshwater habitats. Other common names include banana-tail ray, drab stingray, fantail ray, feathertail stingray, and frill tailed sting ray. This species is sometimes placed in the genus '' Dasyatis'' or ''Hypolophus'' (an obsolete synonym of ''Pastinachus''). The most distinctive characteristic of the cowtail stingray is the large, flag-like ventral fold on its tail, which is especially prominent when the ray is swimming. This species is targeted by commercial fisheries as a source of high-quality shagreen, a type of leather, and its populations are now under threat from heavy exploitation. Distribution and habitat The cowtail stingray has a widespread distribution in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, from South Africa and the Red Sea to Japan and Australia, including Melanesia and Micronesia. They are amphidro ...

Pastinachus Gracilicaudus
''Pastinachus gracilicaudus'', the narrow cowtail ray, is a type of cowtail ray patchily found in Indo-Malay Archipelago. It lives in the continental insular shelves of up to 60 m depth. Description The narrow cowtail ray possesses several characteristics, including rounded snout, 120-122 pectoral fin radials, 37-40 monospondylous vertebral centra, and the presence of 2 large midscapular pearl thorns. It can reach the maximum size of 83 cm disc width. Its reproduction is believed to be viviparous and the birth-size might be 19 - 26 cm disc width. Habitat & distribution This demersal species is usually found on the coastal regions at the depths of 1 - 60 m. Its exact habitat is quite patchy, being believed to be both Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Malay Peninsula. Several possible threats that directly affect this species are sea pollution, climate change, and over-fishing. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q1762877 gracilicaudus Animals described in 201 ...

Pastinachus Stellurostris
''Pastinachus stellurostris'', the starrynose cowtail ray, is a type of tropical ray of the family Dasyatidae found mainly in Indonesia, specifically the estuary of Kapuas River in West Kalimantan. It is believed to inhabit both freshwater and brackish water. This species is threatened by local fisheries due to being captured either deliberately or accidentally. Description Not much is known about the biology, but investigations have been undergone and suggest that the starrynose cowtail ray can reach a maximum size of approximately 43 cm disc width. The name "''stellurostris''", composed of the words "stella"/"starry" and "rostrum"/"snout", refers to the main characteristic of this species: star-shaped denticles on the snout. Habitat & distribution The starrynose cowtail ray is originally known from West Kalimantan, Indonesia, albeit more recent studies indicate its existence in the Gulf of Thailand The Gulf of Thailand (), historically known as the Gulf of Siam (), is a ...

Roughnose Stingray
The roughnose stingray (''Pastinachus solocirostris'') is a little-known species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, generally found in shallow, estuarine waters associated with mangroves off Borneo, Sumatra, and possibly Java. Growing to across, this species has a rhomboid pectoral fin disc and a whip-like tail with a ventral fin fold. It is characterized by its pointed snout, which is covered by dermal denticles. Reproduction is aplacental viviparous, with females possibly bearing as few as one pup at a time. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed the roughnose stingray as Endangered; it is threatened by overfishing and the destruction and degradation of its mangrove habitat. Taxonomy Peter Last, B. Mabel Manjaji, and Gordon Yearsley described the roughnose stingray in a 2005 paper for the scientific journal ''Zootaxa'', giving it the specific epithet ''solocirostris'' from the Latin ''solocis'' ("rough" or "bristly") and ''rostrum'' ("snou ...
