Paratrygon
Paratrygon is a monotypic genus of the cartilaginous fish in the family of Potamotrygonidae. The sole currently recognized species is Paratrygon aiereba, the discus ray, manzana ray or ceja ray, from the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South American. Genetic evidence suggests that P. aiereba as presently defined is a species complex.
