Aetobatus laticeps Gill, 1865. Pacific Eagle Ray or Pacific White-Spotted Eagle Ray. To at least 2.3 m (7.5 ft) (Last et al. 2016) or perhaps to 3.6 m (11.8 ft) DW (Amezcua Linares 1996). Bahía Almejas, southern Baja California (Love et al. 2005) to Los Organos, Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998), including Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997) and Gulf of California (Galván-Magaña et al. 1996). Depth: shallow bays and estuaries (Amezcua Linares 1996) to 82 m (269 ft) (Cortés et al. 2012). The northern California reference (Grove and Lavenberg 1997) appears to be an error. Last et al. (2016) separated this species from Aetobatus narinari (Euphrasen, 1790).
