Do mobula rays have stingers?

Although related to sting rays, only the Spinetail Mobula has a stinger.

Like sharks, mobula ray skin is covered by dermal denticals which gives it a rough feel similar to sandpaper.

Species of this genus are often collectively referred to as "devil rays", "flying mobula", or simply "flying rays", due to their propensity for breaching, sometimes in a spectacular manner.
