Camouflaged porcupine ray
Myliobatiformes (/mɪliˈɒbətɪfɔːrmiːz/) is one of the four orders of batoids, cartilaginous fishes related to sharks.[5][6] They were formerly included in the order Rajiformes, but more recent phylogenetic studies have shown the myliobatiforms to be a monophyletic group, and its more derived members evolved their highly flattened shapes independently of the skates.[7][8]
Classification
Nelson's Fishes of the World arranges the Myliobatiformes as:[9][10]
- Suborder Platyrhinoidei
- Family Platyrhinidae (thornbacks)
- Suborder Zanobatoidei [lower-alpha 1]
- Family Zanobatidae (panrays)
- Suborder Myliobatoidei (stingrays)
- Superfamily Hexatrygonoidea
- Family Hexatrygonidae (sixgill stingray)
- Superfamily Urolophoidea
- Family Plesiobatidae (deepwater stingray)
- Family Urolophidae (round stingrays)
- Superfamily Urotrygonoidea
- Family Urotrygonidae (American round stingrays)
- Superfamily Dasyatoidea
- Genus †Lessiniabatis (fossil)
- Family Dasyatidae (whiptail stingrays)
- Family Potamotrygonidae (river stingrays)
- Family Gymnuridae (butterfly rays)
- Family †Dasyomyliobatidae (fossil)
- Family Myliobatidae (eagle rays)
- Subfamily Myliobatinae (eagle rays)
- Subfamily Mobulinae (manta rays, devil rays)[lower-alpha 2]
- Subfamily Rhinopterinae (cownose rays)[lower-alpha 2]
- Superfamily Hexatrygonoidea
- 1 2 Genetic evidence now places Zanobatidae in Rhinopristiformes[2][3] or as sister taxon to Rhinopristiformes.[4]
- 1 2 Recognised as family by some authorities[11]
The family Aetobatidae is recognised by some authorities. It contains the genus Aetobatus, which is otherwise part of Myliobatinae. [12][11]
