The Xingu River ray, white-blotched river stingray, or polka-dot stingray (Potamotrygon leopoldi) is a species of freshwater fish in the family Potamotrygonidae. It is endemic to the Xingu River basin in Brazil and prefers rocky bottoms.[1] It is sometimes kept in aquaria.[1]

Appearance and relatives

P. leopoldi reaches up to {{convert|40|cm|in|abbr=on}} in disc width,[2] {{convert|75|cm|in|abbr=on}} in total length and {{convert|20|kg|lb|abbr=on}} in weight.[3] Females grow larger than males.[4] It is closely related to the similar P. henlei from the Tocantins River basin and P. albimaculata from the Tapajós River basin.[5] Compared to P. henlei, P. leopoldi is deeper black above and its underparts are mostly brownish-dusky (large white center to underparts of P. henlei).[5][6] Compared to P. albimaculata, P. leopoldi has fewer and larger yellowish-white spots above.[5][6]
