A new genus and species of sleeper ray, Electrolux addisoni (Family
Narkidae), with two dorsal fins is described from two adult males
(total lengths 50 and 52 cm) caught on a shallow reef off the east
coast of South Africa. Electrolux is distinguished from other genera of
Narkidae by its prominent spiracular papillae, the morphology of its
nostrils, nasal curtain, mouth, jaws, chondrocranium, basibranchial
skeleton, pectoral and pelvic girdles, and unique and complex colour
pattern. It has… CONTINUE READING
