Etymology: kotlyari: Named in honour of Dr. Alexander Kotlyar, IOAN Moscow.
Eponymy: Dr Alexander Nikolaevich Kotlyar (d: 1950) is a biologist and ichthyologist who was an associate curator of ichthyology at the Zoological Museum of Moscow University in the 1990s and is now Chief Scientist, Laboratory of Oceanic Ichthyofauna, P. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 33.1 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 114586)
Based on a comparison of the relation between maturity size (around 33 cm TL) and maximum size in other legskate species, a maximum size of about 42 cm TL is assumed for this species and adult females may grow to even somewhat larger size (as is well documented for many rajiform species) (Ref. 114586).
