The smooth skates or leg skates are a genus, Anacanthobatis, of rays, the only genus in the family Anacanthobatidae. They lack the dorsal denticles (sharp tooth-like scales) of other rays, hence their name, from Greek an- meaning "without", acantha meaning "thorn", and bathys meaning "deep". They are bottom dwelling fishes found on the continental slopes of tropical and subtropical waters.
