The striped panray (Zanobatus schoenleinii) is a species of ray and the only member of the genus Zanobatus and the family Zanobatidae. It is found in the east central Atlantic Ocean between Morocco and the Gulf of Guinea, where it is present down to depths of about 60 m (200 ft). Very little is known about the biology of this fish and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as being "data deficient".
