Pastinachus stellurostris, the starrynose cowtail ray, is a type of tropical ray of the family Dasyatidae found mainly in Indonesia, specifically the estuary of Kapuas River in West Kalimantan.[1][2] It is believed to inhabit both freshwater and brackish water.[2] This species is threatened by local fisheries due to being captured either deliberately or accidentally.[1]
