Etymology: rosai: This new species is named after Ricardo S. Rosa, whose excellent revision of potamotrygonids (Rosa, 1985a) represents a landmark in our understanding of the taxonomy and diversity of this family..

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Can be diagnosed by its unique dorsal color pattern, composed of numerous white to creamy-white vermiculate markings over a light brown, tan or gray background color. This species is tentatively further separated from H. gomesi by presenting a slightly more slender tail width at base (5.5% DW in holotype of H. rosai vs. 4.5% DW in holotype of H. gomesi), slightly greater preorbital snout length (31% DW in holotype of H. rosai vs. 33.2% DW in holotype of H. gomesi), and smaller pectoral axil to pelvic inner length (4.6% DW in holotype of H. rosai, ranging from 1.3 to 4.9% DW in all specimens, with a mean of 3.7% DW vs. 2.1% DW in holotype of H. gomesi, and ranging from 1.0 to 3.3% DW in all specimens, with a mean of 1.9% DW) (Ref. 86515).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (58 of 100).
