Spesies ikan pari ini ditemukan pertama kali pada pada 1862 di pasar ikan di Jakarta. Spesimen yang ditemukan di pasar itu, menjadi satu-satunya bukti keberadaan Ikan Pari Jawa. Menurut Kepala Unit Daftar Merah IUCN Craig Hilton-Taylor, kepunahan ikan ini merupakan "contoh pertama dari spesies ikan laut yang punah karena aktivitas manusia."
