Genera
  • Mobula
  • Manta (sometimes considered to be a synonym of Mobula)

The Mobulidae (manta rays and devilfishes) are a family of rays consisting mostly of large species living in the open ocean rather than on the sea bottom.

Taxonomy

The Mobulidae have been variously considered a subfamily of the Myliobatidae by some authors,[2][3] and a distinct family by others, but recent work favors the latter.[4] Two genera have been traditionally recognized, Manta and Mobula, but recent DNA analysis shows that Mobula as traditionally recognized is paraphyletic to manta rays, making Manta a junior synonym of Mobula and Mobula the only extant genus of the family.[5]

Fossil record

Several genera of fossil mobulids are known, including Archaeomanta, Burnhamia, Eomobula, and Paramobula.[6][page needed][7][8]
