Tarsistes Jordan [D. S.] 1919:344 Masc. Tarsistes philippii Jordan 1919. Type by being a replacement name. Apparently an unneeded replacement for Rhynchobatis Philippi 1858, not preoccupied by Rhynchobatus Müller & Henle 1837 [but perhaps preoccupied by an unjustified emendation of it as Rhynchobatis - not investigated]. Nomen Dubium. Current status: Uncertain as Tarsistes Jordan 1919. Rhinobatidae.
