Classification
There are several proposed classifications of fish in the order Batoidea. In some classifications the order Rajiformes is split into two to four orders: in these classifications Rajiformes contains only the skates, with the stingrays, eagle rays and their relatives in Myliobatiformes and the guitarfishes in Rhinobatiformes (which may be further split into Rhynchobatiformes, containing the shovelnosed guitarfishes, and Rhiniformes, the sharkfin guitarfishes). Orders Batoidea - common rays and skates Myliobatiformes - eagle rays, manta rays Pristiformes - sawfishes Torpediniformes - electric rays Rays are a group (superorder Rajomorphii or Batoidea) of cartilaginous fishes. ...

Anacanthobatidae (smooth skates)
Dasyatidae (stingrays). Named for the venomous spines along the tail; these contain a poison that causes pain and may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, muscle cramps, tremors, paralysis, fainting, seizures, elevated heart rate, and decreased blood pressure (depending on the species). In addition, some species' toxins can be fatal to humans.

With the exception of the stingrays, rajiforms are almost entirely absent from the coral islands of the central and western Pacific.
In some classifications the order Rajiformes is split into two or three orders, the additional orders being Myliobatiformes, containing the eagle rays and their relatives; Rhinobatiformes, containing the guitarfishes (which may be further split into Rhynchobatiformes, containing the shovelnosed guitarfishes, and Rhiniformes, the sharkfin guitarfishes).
