Remark: Four nominal species of <i>Psammobatis</i> (<i>asper, caudispina, chilcae, maculatus</i>), all from Hildebrand, 1946, are considered valid in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870) following Chirichigno & Vélez (1998), but J. McEachran confirmed their synonym status of <i>Sympterygia brevicaudata</i> (Cope, 1877) (pers. comm., 11/2003).
Comments: Oviparous (Ref. 50449).  Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).  Max. length (Johnny Labbe, pers. comm., 2000).
