Depending on the exact species, the devil rays can attain disc widths up to {{convert|1.1-5.2|m|ft|abbr=on}}, the largest being second only to the manta rays in size, which can reach {{convert|5.5-7.0|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[2] Despite their size, little is known about the devil rays, much of it being from anecdotal accounts, whereas the manta rays are better-known. Most species entirely lack a tail stinger or it is encased (rendering it harmless); only M. mobular has a free stinger.[2] TaxonomyBased on genetic and to a lesser degree morphological evidence, the genus was redefined in 2017. Under this arrangement, Manta is included in Mobula.[2] FishBase recognizes eleven species:[4]
