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