Aetobatus laticeps Gill, 1865 .

Pacific Eagle Ray or Pacific White-Spotted Eagle Ray. To at least 2.3 m (7.5 ft) ( Last et al. 2016) or perhaps to 3.6 m (11.8 ft) DW ( Amezcua Linares 1996). Bahía Almejas, southern Baja California ( Love et al. 2005) to Los Organos, Peru ( Chirichigno and Vélez 1998), including Islas Galápagos ( Grove and Lavenberg 1997) and Gulf of California ( Galván-Magaña et al. 1996). Depth: shallow bays and estuaries ( Amezcua Linares 1996) to 82 m (269 ft) ( Cortés et al. 2012). The northern California reference ( Grove and Lavenberg 1997) appears to be an error. Last et al. (2016) separated this species from Aetobatus narinari (Euphrasen, 1790) .
