This paper redescribes sexually dimorphic Cruriraja andamanica based on five juvenile (four males,
one female) and four adult specimens (three males, one female) collected from Andaman waters. Morphometric
comparison of the present specimens with a female specimen collected off the coast of
Tanzania reveals considerable dissimilarities between them. These findings, along with the wide geographical
distance between collection locations, support a need for revision of the Tanzanian specimen,
which, in all probability, represents a new species in the genus. The paper also addresses zoogeography
of genus Cruriraja across the world’s oceans and provides a revised key to the species.
