Short Description
Diagnosis after MISAWA, ORLOV, ORLOVA, GORDEEV & ISHIHARA, 2020 [29011]: A medium-sized species (approximate maximum size 800 mm TL, 550 mm DW) of Bathyraja (Arctoraja) with the following combination of characters: dorsal ground color reddish-brown or greenish-brown, with three pairs of white blotches on disc located beside eyes, and on shoulders and posterior half of disc; lateral margin of tail with four or five pairs of white blotches located at tail origin, midpoint, D1 origin, and on inter-dorsal space; ventral surface almost entirely white; dark blotch around cloaca, dark bands along mid ventral line of tail; dorsal surface of disc with a single scapular thorn, 3–4 nuchal thorns; tail with 20–24 regularly arranged thorns; median row of thorns discontinuous, viz., mid-dorsal thorns absent; orbital thornlets present along medial rim of orbit; fine prickles on dorsal surface of disc and tail; prickle band on mid-disc extending along sides of tail; prickles on pectoral fin base relatively sparse; ventral surface uniformly smooth; disc width 63.1–65.6% TL, length 50.6–53.5% TL; anterior projection (snout to maximum width) 29.7–32.2% TL; head length (dorsal aspect) 18.9–20.6% TL; snout broad, moderately short, preoral length 11.1–14.1% TL, supported by slender, flexible unsegmented cartilage; snout angle 103–119º; eyes rather large, eye diameter 0.22–0.24 times head length, 1.00–1.11 times between orbits; tail relatively long (but shorter than disc width), length 51.5–54.1% TL and 0.79–0.86 times DW, width at first dorsalfin origin 3.8–4.2% tail length; 86–93 predorsal caudal vertebrae.
