1. Pastenague lymme (Trygon lymma) = bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma)
The bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma) is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. This species is common throughout the tropical Indian and western Pacific Oceans in nearshore, coral reef-associated habitats. Taeniura lymma is a fairly small ray, not exceeding 35 cm in width, with a mostly smooth, oval pectoral fin disc, large protruding eyes, and a relatively short and thick tail with a deep fin fold underneath. The bluespotted ribbontail rays can be easily identified by their striking color pattern of many electric blue spots on a yellowish background, with a pair of blue stripes on the tail. Order: Myliobatiformes > Family: Dasyatidae > Genus: Taeniura > Species: Taeniura lymma

2. Raie bi-oculaire (Raya biocularis) = brown ray (Raja miraletus)

It is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a bottom-dwelling fish feeding on crustaceans, other invertebrates and fish. The females give birth to live young.
