Mobula tarapacana (Philippi, 1892)
Chilean Devilray
Cephaloptera tarapacana Philippi, 1892: 8 , Pl. 3 (fig. 2). Holotype: whereabouts unknown. Type locality: 12 miles west of Iquique , Tarapacà Province, Chile.
Local synonymy: White et al., 2018: 292, figs (PNG).
PNG voucher material: None.
Remarks: No confirmed PNG specimens recorded, but recorded in the bycatch of the purse seine fishery. It is a distinctive and regularly caught devilray in pelagic fisheries in tropical Western Central Pacific waters, thus its presence in PNG is very likely.
