The striped panray (Zanobatus schoenleinii) is a species of ray in the family Zanobatidae.
It was considered the only species in its genus and family until the description of the maculate panray (Z. maculatus) in 2016.
[3][4] The striped panray is found in the warm East Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Morocco, through the Gulf of Guinea to Angola.
It resembles the maculate panray, but that species is only known from the Gulf of Guinea (Ivory Coast to Gabon), is smaller (up to around 36 cm or 1.18 ft), has a less striped pattern and a more thorny back.
[1] It feeds on benthic invertebrates and it is ovoviviparous, giving birth to 1–4 young that are about 19 cm (7.5 in) long.
