| Summary: | Leucoraja naevus (Müller & Henle, 1841) Distribution. Cuckoo ray (L. naevus) is relatively widespread in the Northeast Atlantic, occurring from Morocco to Norway, including the Mediterranean Sea (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984; Serena et al., 2010). Juveniles are found further offshore than the young of Raja spp. (Ellis et al., 2005). Records submitted to the Great Eggcase Hunt were collected predominantly from southwest England, although verified reports have been made along the southern and western coasts of England and Wales, with scattered reports from Scotland and the Northern Isles. Material examined. Ninety-four specimens were examined overall, including those recorded from the Great Eggcase Hunt (n = 52) and trawl surveys (n = 39), with three museum specimens also examined (BMNH 1927.1.31.1–3). Specimens from trawl surveys were captured primarily by beam trawl in the western English Channel and Celtic Sea, over the area from 49.1– 50.9°N and 3.9 –6.7°W, and in waters 84–118 m deep.
