Description
Summary:Zapteryx exasperata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880). Banded Guitarfish. To 97 cm (38.2 in) TL (Vilavicencio-Garayzar 1995); a much larger record of about 140 cm (55.1 in) TL (Rameirez-Amaro et al. 2013) is undocumented. Jalama Beach, central California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California), to Gulf of California, to at least Mazatlan, Mexico (Bizzarro and Kyne 2015). A record from Peru (Cornejo et al. 2015) likely refers to another species. Benthic; depth: intertidal to 200 m (656 ft) (min.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; max.: De La Cruz-Agüero et al. 1997). Castillo-Páez et al. (2017) state that the eastern Pacific Ocean Zapteryx require a taxonomic revision.
