The holotype and only known specimen was found in the northern Persian Gulf, in Iraqi waters.〔 It was collected at a depth of less than . It is around in length, and the coloration pattern (described from a specimen preserved in alcohol) is light brown dorsal body with irregular darker brown blotches, and a light brown ventral body. The tail is slightly darker than the body. The name derives from the coloration pattern resembling pita bread.〔 ==Description== The species is known from only one female specimen, so variation and sex differences are not known.〔 The holotype specimen is in total length, about half being body and half tail. The disc is at the widest point.〔 The disc forms an approximate quadrangle. The dorsal surface and basal portions of pelvic fins have brown spots on a light brown background. Three brown streaks are noted on the posterior distal pectoral fins. Ventral surface is pale brown, with no variation noted.〔 Dorsal areas are covered in dermal denticles except for two symmetric patches on the disc and along the posterior margin of the pectoral and pelvic fins. Ventral areas smooth except for a few patches of denticles of varying density. The dorsal surface has a row of 31 thorns along the midline, and a parallel row of three on either side of the midline approximately mid-disc. It has additional thorns around the eyes and snout. The tail has an additional 29 thorns on the midline, and other thorns in regular and irregular rows. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pita skate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
