Please change Manta to Mobula, as the genus Manta no longer exists.

Following genetic analysis of manta rays it was determined that the species belong to the genus Mobula. ^[1] 80.203.76.249 (talk) 15:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Not done for now: It is not clear that there is a uniform consensus for this change. I would suggest discussion of this issue at Talk:Manta ray. Goldsztajn (talk) 16:34, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
