Family Dasyatidae Jordan & Gilbert, 1879

Stingrays

Remarks: Authorship for the family Dasyatidae is often attributed to Jordan (1888), but van der Lann et al. (2014) noted that authorship should be corrected to Jordan & Gilbert (1879). In the original description, Jordan & Gilbert (1879: 386), the family name was spelled Dasybatidae, but later corrected by Jordan (1888: 22) to Dasyatidae (van der Lann et al., 2014; Last et al., 2016h).
