abstract (from publication):
The homonymy between Raja magellanica Philippi, 1902, and Raja magellanica Steindachner, 1903 is removed by the introduction of a replacement name for the younger name. The discovery of a so far missing syntype in Berlin is presented, together with comments on the provenance of another syntype hosted in Vienna.
