Himantura is a genus of stingray in the family Dasyatidae that is native to the Indo-Pacific. In a 2016 taxonomic revision, many of the species formerly assigned to Himantura were reassigned to other genera (Brevitrygon, Fluvitrygon, Maculabatis, Pateobatis, Styracura and Urogymnus).
Species
Twelve extant species are currently recognized as valid, formerly four or five species.
Himantura alcockii (Annandale, 1909) (Pale-spot whip ray)
Himantura australis (Last, White & Naylor, 2016) (Australian whipray)
Himantura fava (Annandale, 1909) (Honeycomb whipray)
Himantura fluviatilis (Hamilton, 1822) (Ganges whipray)
Himantura krempfi (Chabanaud, 1923) (Marbled freshwater whip ray)
Himantura leoparda (Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last, 2008) (Leopard whipray)
Himantura marginata (Blyth, 1860) (Blackedge whipray)
†Himantura menoni (Sahni & Mehrotra, 1981)
Himantura microphthalma (J. T. F. Chen, 1948) (Smalleye whip ray)
Himantura pareh (Bleeker, 1852)
†Himantura souarfortuna (Adnet et al., 2020)
Himantura tutul (Borsa, Durand, K. N. Shen, Arlyza, Solihin & Berrebi, 2013) (Fine-spotted leopard whipray)
Himantura uarnak (J. F. Gmelin, 1789) (Reticulate whipray)
Himantura undulata (Bleeker, 1852) (Honeycomb whipray)
The former contentious species, Himantura tutul has had its validity disputed and has been considered a junior synonym of H. uarnak by the Catalog of Fishes. However, H. tutul was previously confused not with H. uarnak, but with H. leoparda, and subsequently shown to be genetically distinct and reproductively isolated from both H. uarnak and H. leoparda. Both adult H. leoparda and H. tutul present leopard-like ocellated spots. These are smaller and more numerous in H. tutul.
