Springeria folirostris, the leaf-nose leg skate, is a species of ray in the family Anacanthobatidae, native to depths of 300–510 m (980–1,670 ft) in the Gulf of Mexico.[2] It was originally described in the genus Springeria, but this was later considered a subgenus of Anacanthobatis. In 2016 Springeria was again elevated to full genus status.[3]
