Abstract

A new species of deep water skate is described from two females trawled off the north-western coast of Madagascar. This new species is compared to its congeners of the subgenus Fenestraja of the genus Gurgesiella and to some nominal species of Breviraja left without generic status in the taxonomic arrangement proposed by McEachran and Compagno (1982).
