Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann & Jenkins, 1891 .

Gabilan, Golden Cownose Ray, Golden Ray, or Pacific Cownose Ray. To 104 cm (40.9 in) DW ( Bizzarro et al. 2007). Bahía de Sebastian Vizcaino, central Baja California ( Castro-Aguirre and Espinosa Pérez 1996), to Gulf of California (McEachran and Notarbartolo di Sciara in Fischer et al. 1995), to Peru ( Chirichigno 1974) , and Islas Galápagos ( Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Depth: surface to about 77 m (253 ft) (min.: Grove and Lavenberg 1997; max.: Weigmann 2016). A maximum depth of 1,226 m (4,021 ft) reported by Morera et al. (2019) was based on a capture by a bottom trawl and probably represents a midwater capture during net deployment or retrieval. A List and Index of the Publications of the United States National Museum (1947) gives the date of publication as July 16, 1891; sometimes given as 1892.
