フランスの博物学者ジョルジュ・キュヴィエは1816年に、『Le Règne Animal distribué d'après Son Organization pour servir de Base à l'histoire Naturelle des animaux et d'introduction à l'anaomie comparée』の中で本種を Raia jamaicensis として記載した。彼はジャマイカから入手した標本に基づいて説明を行ったが、模式標本は指定されていなかった[2]。その後ヒラタエイ属とされ、さらに Urobatis 属となった。yellow-spotted ray、round ray、maid rayなどの別名がある[3]。
