. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology. Figure 8. Breviraja ishiyamai, end of tail showing dorsal fins and caudal fin about ; section of tail from near tips of pelvics and cross-section of same about x2. remainder of disc uniformly covered with small, slender prickles, very close set, their tips bent rearward. A median row of 4 small thorns from nape to scapular region a little beyond which the row resumes with about 54 thorns of varying sizes extending on to tail and ending before first dorsal fin by a distance about equal to that from tip of snout to orbits. One or two scapular thorns on each side of median row. Tail, in addition to the thorns in midrow, densely prickly, some of the prickles being coarser than those on disc, with a row of smaller thorns varying in size, low down on each side, ending a little posterior to mid- row. Posterior lobe of pelvics, skin over eyes, and dorsals, cov- ered with prickles, with a few on caudal fin and lateral folds. Lower surface smooth. Snout in front of orbits times as long as orbit, its length in front of mouth times as great as distance between exposed.
