Patchwork stingaree
The patchwork stingaree (''Urolophus flavomosaicus'') is a little-known species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, with a disjunct distribution off northwestern and northeastern Australia. It usually inhabits the outer continental shelf, at a depth of . This species has a diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc much wider than long, and a short, flattened tail with a prominent dorsal fin and leaf-like caudal fin. There is a skirt-shaped curtain of skin between its nostrils. Its dorsal color pattern resembles a mosaic of dark brown rings with light-colored centers, separated by fine reticulated lines. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the patchwork stingaree under Least Concern, as it is subject to minimal fishing pressure.
==Taxonomy==
Peter Last and Martin Gomon described the patchwork stingaree in a 1987 issue of ''Memoirs of the National Museum of Victoria'', giving it the specific epithet ''flavomosaicus'' from the Latin ''flavus'' ("yellow") and ''mosaicus'' ("mosaic") in reference to its coloration. A male across, collected north of Port Hedland, Western Australia on 21 April 1982, by the research trawler FRV ''Soela'', was designated as the type specimen. It seems to be most closely related to the sandyback stingaree (''U. bucculentus'') and the butterfly stingaree (''U. papilio'').
