The banded guitarfish has a slender body and a large triangular head that tapers to a pointed blunt snout and incorporate the fused pectoral fins. Their head is relatively broad with a short blunt snout, a large spiracle behind each eye, and two cartilaginous ridges running forward from the inner edges of their eyes. There is a row of thorns that runs along the mid-back from behind their eyes to the origin of their first dorsal fin. Their caudal fin is asymmetrical and without a distinct lower lobe; they have two large triangular-shaped dorsal fins of equal size. |
