Andinichthyidae is a prehistoric family of basal catfishes from the Cretaceous to Eocene of South America. [1] [2] [3]
The four species in four monotypic genera are:
The Bagridae are a family of catfish that are native to Africa (Bagrus) and Asia from Japan to Borneo. It includes about 245 species. These fish are commonly known as naked catfishes or bagrid catfishes.
Acanthicus is a genus of large, South American suckermouth armored catfishes native to the Amazon and Orinoco basins, and possibly in Guyana. The name Acanthicus is derived from the Greek, akanthikos meaning thorny, spiny. Fish of this genus are known as lyre-tail plecos. These species are found in large rivers, primarily in areas with a rocky bottom and a moderate or strong current.
Pseudobagarius meridionalis is a species of catfish belonging to the family Akysidae. It is only known from the Barito River basin in southern Borneo.
The Anchariidae are a family of catfishes containing two genera, Ancharius and Gogo with 6 species. Anchariids are a strictly freshwater group endemic to Madagascar. Anchariids are characterized by the presence of fringed barbels and a reduced anterior nuchal plate.
Zungaropsis is a genus of catfish of the family Pimelodidae. It is a monotypic genus, containing only the single species Zungaropsis multimaculatus, and is considered closely related to Zungaro. In 2003, Zungaropsis was considered as a genus inquirendum of the Pimelodidae.
Pseudobagrus is a genus of bagrid catfishes that inhabit streams and rivers throughout East Asia. About half of these species occur in China.
Bullockia maldonadoi is a species of catfish of the family Trichomycteridae, and the only species of the genus Bullockia. This fish grows to about 7 centimetres (2.8 in) and originates from Chile.
Eremophilus mutisii is a species of catfish of the family Trichomycteridae, and the only member of its genus. This fish grows to about 30 centimetres (12 in) and originates from the Bogotá River basin, which is a tributary of the Magdalena River. It has probably been introduced to Ubaté, Chiquinquirá, and Tundama valleys, Colombia.
Haemomaster venezuelae is a species of catfish of the family Trichomycteridae, and the only species of the genus Haemomaster. This fish grows to about 6.6 centimetres (2.6 in) SL and originates from the Amazon and Orinoco River basins.
Andersonia leptura is a species of catfish of the family Amphiliidae, and is the only species of the genus Andersonia. This fish grows to about 50.0 cm (19.7 in) in total length; it is found in the Omo, Niger, and Upper Nile Rivers and the Lake Chad basin, and is also known from Lake Debo. Although previously considered to be toothless on the lower jaw, dentition has been found on the premaxilla and the dentary. The teeth are embedded in the mucous sheath that covers the head and extends into the oral cavity, which makes the teeth difficult to see with the naked eye.
Gogo is a small genus of catfishes of the family Anchariidae. It includes four species.
Tridentopsis is a genus of pencil catfishes native to South America.
Pseudotatia parva is a species of catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It is the only species of the genus Pseudotatia. This species originates from the São Francisco River basin of Brazil.
Ictalurus is a genus of North American freshwater catfishes. It includes the well-known channel catfish and blue catfish.
Phractura is a genus of loach catfishes that occur in Africa.
Acentronichthys leptos is the only species of catfish in the genus Acentronichthys of the family Heptapteridae. This species occurs in coastal streams in Brazil from Rio de Janeiro to Santa Catarina State, in São Mateus, Espírito Santo State and on Leopoldina, Minas Gerais. This species grows to 9.1 cm (3.6 in) in SL.
Galeichthys is a genus of sea catfishes in the family Ariidae, the only genus in the subfamily Galeichthyinae. It includes four predominantly marine species distributed in Southern Africa and northwestern South America:
Laides is a genus of catfish in the family Ailiidae native to Asia. These species are originates from Mekong and Chao Phraya River basins.
Batrachocephalus mino, the beardless sea catfish, is the only species of catfish in the genus Batrachocephalus of the family Ariidae. This species occurs in marine and brackish waters of Bay of Bengal, and parts of the western central Pacific, in coastal waters, estuaries, and lower reaches of rivers. It is distributed from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, to Indonesia.
Ketengus typus, the bigmouth sea-catfish, is the only species in the sea catfish genus Ketengus.
