Hello,
Aetobatus narinari is now considered an Atlantic species only.
The Indian/Pacific Ocean species is now called A. ocellatus.

Actually... the Eastern Pacific species is considered by some to be A. laticeps.
Further investigation is required, I am changing it to A. ocellatus for now but the name may change again once I have been able to do some searching.
