The southern banded guitarfish (Zapteryx xyster), also known as the witch guitarfish, is a species of fish in the Rhinobatidae family found at reefs and other habitats from shallow water to a depth of 90 m (300 ft) in the tropical East Pacific.[2] It ranges from Mazatlan, Mexico, to Colombia, but it likely also occurs off Ecuador and Peru.[1]It is threatened by habitat loss. It is closely related to the more northernly distributed banded guitarfish (Z. exasperata).[3]
