Pastinachus is a genus of stingrays in the family Dasyatidae. This genus was long held to be monotypic, containing only the cowtail stingray (P. sephen). Recent studies of Indo-Pacific stingrays have revealed that there are in fact a number of different species of Pastinachus, and that some former junior synonyms may need to be resurrected.^[1]

Species

Pastinachus ater (W. J. Macleay, 1883) (Broad cowtail stingray)
Pastinachus gracilicaudus Last & Manjaji-Matsumoto, 2010 (Narrow cowtail stingray)
Pastinachus sephen (Forsskål, 1775) (Cowtail stingray)
Pastinachus solocirostris Last, Manjaji & Yearsley, 2005 (Roughnose cowtail stingray)
Pastinachus stellurostris Last, Fahmi & Naylor, 2010 (Starrynose cowtail stingray)
