The larger of the original two specimens measured 40.4 cm long and the smaller 15.7 cm.[4] Like other round rays, the Tumbes round stingray has a rounded pectoral fin disc, slightly wider than it is long. The tail is stout, bearing a serrated stinging spine, and terminates in a rounded caudal fin. The pelvic fins have abruptly rounded tips. The teeth have narrowly oval bases and no elevated cusps. The dorsal surface is covered uniformly by dermal denticles on stellate bases, becoming larger towards the midline of the disc; the underside is smooth. There are also thorns on the dorsal surface of the disc and tail. The dorsal coloration consists of ochre vermiculations separating brownish-white oval or circular spots about the size of the eye, becoming more distinct towards the margin of the disc and on the pelvic fins. The denticles and tail spine are ochre-colored, and the underside is light tan with a dark border along the edge of the disc. The coloration, denticles and several proportional measurements distinguish the Tumbes round stingray from other Urobatis species.[3] Due to its highly restricted distribution and shallow inshore habitat, this species merits conservation concern. Information is needed on whether this species is being affected by fisheries activities in its range.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite journal | author = Kyne, P.M. | author2 = Valenti, S.V. | last-author-amp = yes | title = Urobatis tumbesensis | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2007 | page = e.T63135A12621755 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2007 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/63135/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2007.RLTS.T63135A12621755.en | access-date = 13 January 2018}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q5504549}}{{DEFAULTSORT:stingray, round, Tumbes}}2. ^{{Fishbase species |genus=Urobatis |species=tumbesensis |month=November |year=2008}} 3. ^1 {{cite journal |author1=Norma Chirichigno, F. |author2=McEachran, J.D. |lastauthoramp=yes |title=Urolophus tumbesensis, a New Stingray from the Coast of Peru (Batoidea: Urolophidae) |journal=Copeia |volume=1979 |issue=4 |date=Nov 28, 1979 |pages=709–713 |doi=10.2307/1443881 |jstor=1443881 |publisher=American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists}} 4 : Urobatis|Fish of Ecuador|Fish of Peru|Fish described in 1979 |
