Summary:Beringraja inornata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1881). California Skate. To 79 cm (31.1 in) TL (NWFSC-FRAM). Strait of Juan de Fuca (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) to southern Baja California and Gulf of California (McEachran in Fischer et al. 1995).

While there are a small number of NWFSC-FRAM records from deeper than 300 m (as deep as 792 m, 2,598 ft), these lack documentation and may be due to misidentifications. Similarly, the 1,600 m (5,248 ft) record of Pearcy et al. (1982) is likely in error (Joseph J. Bizzarro). Formerly Raja inornata Jordan & Gilbert, 1881. While we have listed this species, as well as Beringraja rhina (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880) and Beringraja stellulata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880), in the genus Beringraja, we argue that the inclusion of these three species within that genus is unfounded, based on ... : Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 26, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 ...
