Species

Molecular phylogenetic data indicate that several previously recognized Dasyatis species are in fact populations of wider-ranging Bathytoshia species.

Bathytoshia brevicaudata (Hutton, 1875) (including Dasyatis matsubarai)

Bathytoshia centroura (Mitchill, 1815)

Bathytoshia lata (Garman, 1880) (including D. thetidis, D. ushiei, and eastern Atlantic B. centroura)
