Toarcibatidae is a family of extinct rays that lived in the Early Jurassic in Europe and North America. It includes two genera, Cristabatis and Toarcibatis. This family was originally named "Archaeobatidae",[2] but that name did not conform to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature so it was replaced.[1] Doliobatis was originally included in this family,[2] but it has since been reassigned to Rhinobatidae.[1][3]
