Raia circularisRaja circularisRaja falsavelaRaja falsavela intermediaRaja falsavela maggioreRaja (Leucoraja) circularis The sandy ray (Leucoraja circularis) or sandy skate[2] is a species of ray in the family Rajidae.

It has a short snout with a spinulose reddish-brown dorsal surface, a tail only slightly longer than body, and a white underside.

[5] The sandy ray lives in the demersal zone of the offshore waters of Western Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, at depths between 70 m (230 ft) and 676 m (2,218 ft).

[6] According to the FAO this species should be considered extinct in Mediterranean Sea, but recent records contradict this view.

[7] The sandy ray lays its eggs between August and November and feeds on benthic invertebrates and small bony fish.
