We report the first observed case of leucism in a yellow stingray ( Urobatis jamaicensis ) from Love Beach, New Providence, Bahamas, diagnosed by near-total dorsal depigmentation, a pale blue iris, and residual black spotting. These features exclude albinism, piebaldism, and axanthism. This record extends leucism to U. jamaicensis and Urotrygonidae.
