  Comment  
Although considered valid in Compagno (2000, Ref. 47854), Compagno (pers. comm. 30/07/03) suggests that D. gruveli should be treated as a synonym of Pastinachus sephen until the major problems within the genus can be rectified.
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, dasys = rough, dense (Ref. 45335).
