What is another word for Order Rajiformes?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔːdə ɹˈad͡ʒɪfˌɔːmz] (IPA) 
Order Rajiformes is a taxonomic classification for a group of cartilaginous fishes commonly known as rays. Synonyms for this order include Batoidea, Myliobatiformes, and Torpediniformes. The term Batoidea is often used as an alternative as it is a more inclusive taxonomic classification that encompasses not only the rays but also the skates and sawfishes. Myliobatiformes specifically refers to the suborder that includes the stingrays, eagle rays, and their relatives. Torpediniformes, on the other hand, refers only to the electric rays. Regardless of the synonym used, all of these groups share similar characteristics such as flattened bodies and broad pectoral fins that are fused to the head.
