Rajidae (Skates)
Etymology: Breviraja: Latin, brevis = short, brief + Latin raja = ray (Raja sp.) (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: B Mould noticed that McEachran & Matheson’s name Breviraja schroederi (1985) was pre-occupied by Breviraja schroederi (Krefft 1968) and brought this to the describers’ attention so they re-named the skate after him. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
