A new shovelnose ray, Rhinobatos whitei sp. nov., is described from material collected at fish markets of the southern Philippines. This ray was first formally indentified as an undescribed species more than a decade ago as part of a WWF funded survey of sharks and rays of the Philippines. It was considered to be most closely related to another shovelnose ray found nearby in the western North Pacific, R. schlegelii, but differs from that species in body shape and aspects of coloration, meristics and morphometry. It differs from all other shovelnose rays of the region in its NADH2 sequence, clustering together with an Indonesian species R. jimbaranensis, and another undescribed species from Borneo.
一种新的铲鼻鳐，即怀特氏铲鼻鳐（Rhinobatos whitei sp. nov.），根据在菲律宾南部鱼市收集的标本进行了描述。这种鳐鱼早在十多年前作为世界自然基金会资助的菲律宾鲨鱼和鳐鱼调查的一部分，首次被正式鉴定为一个未描述的物种。它被认为与在北太平洋西部附近发现的另一种铲鼻鳐——施氏铲鼻鳐（R. schlegelii）关系最为密切，但在体型、颜色、可数性状和形态测量方面与该物种不同。它在NADH2序列上与该地区所有其他铲鼻鳐不同，与印度尼西亚的金巴兰铲鼻鳐（R. jimbaranensis）以及婆罗洲的另一种未描述物种聚在一起。
