Amblyraja reversa or the Reversed Skate is a deepwater skate. The Reversed Skate is known from a single specimen. Based on the single specimen, its range is predicted to include at least the Western Indian Ocean, specifically the Baluchistan coast in the Arabian Sea.[1]

Due to the limited knowledge of its biology and extent of capture in fisheries, this species is assessed as Data Deficient.[1]
