Content
The new species was first scientifically described in 1880 as Raja nitida [4] . Species epithet comes from the word lat. nitidus . - "bright." The holotype is a male 20.9 cm long, caught in the waters of New South Wales [5] .
These rays are endemic to the southeast coast of Australia. They are found on the continental shelf and in the upper part of the continental slope at a depth of 75 to 450 m [2] .
The broad and flat pectoral fins of these slopes form a rhombic disk with a wide triangular snout and rounded edges. On the ventral side of the disc are 5 gill slits, nostrils and mouth. The tail is longer than the disk. There are lateral folds on the tail. These skates have 2 reduced dorsal fins and a reduced caudal fin [1] .
The maximum recorded length is 36.8 cm [3] .
These stingrays lay eggs enclosed in a horn capsule with "horns" in the corners. The capsule is 5.7 cm long and 3.8-4.4 cm wide [3] . Males reach puberty with a length of 30.7 cm [2] .
These ramps are not the target fishing target. Caught in by- catch . The annual catch of this species in 2000-2006 is estimated at 70 tons. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated the conservation status of the species as βLeast Concernedβ [2] .
