Myliobatiformes (/mɪliˈɒbətɪfɔːrmz/) is one of the four orders of batoids, cartilaginous fishes related to sharks.[4][5] 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.[6][7]
