The underworld windowskate (''Fenestraja plutonia'') is a species of cartilaginous fish in the family Rajidae. It is also known as the Pluto skate. The underworld windowskate is known from patches of continental slope in the western Atlantic Ocean between the coasts of the southern United States and Suriname.〔 ==Etymology== The underworld windowskate's genus name, ''Fenestraja'', comes from a combination of two words. ''Fenestre'' is a Latin word meaning window, which in this case refers to a small opening in bone.〔Romero, P., 2002. An etymological dictionary of taxonomy. Madrid, unpublished.〕 A second Latin word, ''Raja'' simply refers to the genus as a skate/ray of the family Rajidae. Its species name is a reference to Pluto (, ') the Greek god of the underworld.〔William Hansen, Classical Mythology: A Guide to the Mythical World of the Greeks and Romans. Oxford University Press, 2005〕
