Myliobatis

Chondrichthyes - Myliobatiformes - Myliobatidae

Taxonomy
Myliobatis was named by Cuvier (1816) [Sepkoski's age data: in Cuvier. Probably a misspelling of Myliobatis.]. It is extant. Its type is Raja aquila.

It was corrected as Myliobates by Leidy (1873); it was synonymized subjectively with Aetobatis by Jordan (1907).

It was assigned to Raiae by Leidy (1873); to Myliobatina by Jaekel (1894); to Batoidea by Lancaster (1986); to Myliobatiformes by Sepkoski (2002); to Dasyatoidea by Rana et al. (2006); to Myliobatinae by Gill (1894) and Ebersole et al. (2019); and to Myliobatidae by Davis (1888), Woodward (1889), Alessandri (1896), Ameghino (1901), Hay (1902), Eastman (1904), Chapman (1918), Jordan and Gilbert (1919), Chapman and Cudmore (1924), Leriche (1926), White (1926), Bohm (1926), Arambourg (1927), Leriche (1942), Arambourg and Joleaud (1943), Casier (1946), Rapp (1946), Tabaste (1963), Jordan (1963), Cassier (1966), Jonet (1968), Adegoke (1977), Herman (1977), Case (1981), Cappetta (1986), Cappetta (1987), Kumar and Loyal (1987), Cvancara and Hoganson (1993), Iturralde-Vinent et al.
