Raja teevani Bigelow and Schroeder, 1951a

Distribution. Widely distributed in the northern GOM from Port St. Joe, Florida to the Texas/ Mexico border at depths between approximately 310 and 940 m.

First Record in GOM. This species was originally described ( Bigelow and Schroeder 1951a) from two specimens (holotype USNM 153557 View Materials , Figure 7 View FIGURE 7 , and paratype MCZ 37189) collected in 1951 aboard the RV Oregon from the northern GOM off the northwestern coast of Florida ( Springer and Bullis 1956) .

Remarks. The genus Dipturus is currently under revision and the species from the GOM are of particular interest as little is known of their biology and habits.
