The lobed stingaree (Urolophus lobatus) is a common species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, endemic to southern Western Australia in shallow, inshore sand and seagrass habitats.

A benthic predator, the lobed stingaree feeds mostly on crustaceans, and to a much lesser extent on small bony fishes, polychaete worms, and molluscs.

It is aplacental viviparous, with females typically bearing a single pup every October or November after a gestation period of ten months.

However, this species is not greatly affected by human activity overall, and it has been listed under Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

[2] Among the most abundant representatives of its family within its range,[3] the lobed stingaree is found along a short stretch of the southwest Australian coast from Esperance to Rottnest Island.

[5] The tail is slender and very flattened, measuring 87–100% as long as the disc and bearing a prominent horizontal skin fold on either side.

This species is yellowish brown above, becoming slightly lighter at the lateral margins of the side, and white below; some individuals have irregular blotches and/or a dark stripe along the dorsal midline of the tail.

[1] Almost 90% of the food volume consumed by the lobed stingaree consists of crustaceans, in particular mysids, amphipods, shrimps, and cumaceans, which are captured on or just above the bottom.

Its dietary composition also shifts seasonally, mostly reflecting the greater availability of shrimp in summer and fall and cumaceans in winter and spring.

Mating occurs in November and October and ovulation from mid-November and mid-January, implying that the females store sperm internally for 1–3 months before fertilization.

[1][8] The lobed stingaree is often caught incidentally by scallop and prawn trawlers operating off Perth and Mandurah in the northern part of its range.
