Abstract
This brief note presents the first photographic record of the butterfly ray, Gymnura cf. poecilura, from the Bhagirathi-Hooghly River in West Bengal, eastern India. The photographs were discovered during a pilot survey of riverine elasmobranchs in West Bengal. This record is an important contribution to the knowledge of elasmobranch biodiversity in Indian rivers. The author suggests that further research is needed to better understand the ecology, biology and conservation status of riverine elasmobranchs in India.
