The New Caledonian stingaree (Urolophus neocaledoniensis) is a little-known species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, found off New Caledonia and the adjacent Chesterfield Islands and Norfolk Ridge.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the New Caledonian stingaree under Least Concern, as it faces no substantial fishery threats.
Named for the center of its distribution, the New Caledonian stingaree was described by Bernard Séret and Peter Last in a 2003 issue of the scientific journal Cybium.
[2] The New Caledonian stingaree has a rhomboid pectoral fin disc 102–115% as wide as long, with broadly rounded outer corners and strongly convex anterior margins.
The margins of the pelvic, dorsal, and caudal fins, and the tip of the snout, are dark; this is more obvious in juveniles.
[2] Because there are no commercial trawl fisheries operating within the range of the New Caledonian stingaree, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it under Least Concern.
