ABSTRACT:
The Giant Freshwater Stingray Urogymnus polylepis (Bleeker, 1852) has been known from several drainages in Sunda land (Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java). We compiled most recent update records of U. polylepis in Indonesia based from local social media and internet supported with photographs or other evidences. There are 42 total records of U. polylepis in Indonesia. From those reports, there are 13 new records of U. polylepis in Sumatra between 2016 and 2019, four new reports in Kalimantan between 2018-2019, and no recent update information from Java.
