"Sharpnose stingray" may also refer to Telatrygon zugei, Maculabatis gerrardi, or Pateobatis jenkinsii. The sharpnose stingray (Telatrygon acutirostra) is a little-known species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, found off southern Japan and in the East China Sea. With a rounded pectoral fin disc and a long, projecting snout, T. acutirostra resembles (and was historically confused with) the smaller pale-edged stingray (T. zugei).
