RHINOBATIDAE View in CoL View at ENA

Five species appear to occur off the coast of tropical West Africa (Poll, 1951; Stehmann in Quéro et al., 1990: 23–27). Irvine recorded three species from Ghana and noted [correctly] that the Mediterranean species Rhinobatos rhinobatos (Linnaeus, 1758) had been recorded several times from West Africa and might well occur off the coast of Ghana.
