Western Central Atlantic: northern coast of South America. The junior synonym, Batrachus uranoscopus, found listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species [as Vulnerable B1ab (I,iii) + 2ab (I,iii), based on a 2001assessment] is thus not justified (Ref. 81293).

Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5217); common length : 12.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3273)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 17 - 20; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 19.
Inhabits the sandy bottoms of reef flats, lagoons, and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Partially buried in mud or sand. Wounds from the venomous spines have caused severe pain and illness that persisted as long as one week (Ref. 13442).
