Taeniura

Taeniura is a genus of stingrays in the family Dasyatidae. The species Taeniurops grabata and T. meyeni were formerly placed in this genus. However, phylogenetic research has shown that these two species are not closely related to T. lymma, and they have been assigned to a separate genus, Taeniurops.[1]

gollark: The economy is an abstraction over production and consumption of whatever.
gollark: Further exploitation of space cool and good.
gollark: "Zero growth" bad, sustained economic growth necessary.
gollark: Globalisation good, complex global supply chains basically fine?
gollark: Hmm. Also, gradual phase out of road networks and replacement with trains etc. good.
