The Panama ghost catshark (Apristurus stenseni) is a species of shark belonging to the family Pentanchidae, the deepwater catsharks. This little known catshark is only found off Panama, between 9ðN and 2ðN. The reproduction of the Panama ghost shark is oviparous.
The catshark is named in honor of Danish geologist and anatomist Niels Stensen (1638-1686), also known as Nicolas Steno.
