  abstract = {{A} continuing impediment to the taxonomy of the reticulate whipray {H}imantura spp. species complex is the absence of a type specimen for {H}. uarnak ({G}melin [ex {F}orsskal], 1789). {H}ere, reticulate whipray specimens were sampled from the {J}eddah region in the {R}ed {S}ea, the assumed type locality of {H}. uarnak, and characterized genetically at the cytochrome-oxidase subunit 1 ({CO}1) locus. {O}ne of these specimens now in the fish collection of the {C}alifornia {A}cademy of {S}ciences was designated as neotype. {T}he maximum-likelihood phylogeny of all available {CO}1 gene sequences from the genus {H}imantura had the following topology: (({H}. leoparda, {H}. uarnak), ({H}. undulata, ({H}imantura sp. 2, ({H}. australis + {H}imantura sp. 1))), {H}. tutul), where {H}. uarnak haplotypes formed a distinct lineage sister to {H}. leoparda. {B}ased on these {CO}1 gene sequences, the geographic distribution of {H}. uarnak includes the eastern {M}editerranean, the {R}ed {S}ea, the {E}ast {A}frican coast, and the {A}rabian {S}ea. {A}t least one lineage in the reticulate whipray species complex remains to be named.},
