Belonoglanis is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Amphiliidae. [1] Both species occur in the Congo River basin. [1]
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [2]
The Doradidae are a family of catfishes also known as thorny catfishes, raphael catfishes or talking catfishes. These fish are native to South America, primarily the Amazon basin and the Guianas.
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.
The loach catfishes are a family, Amphiliidae, of catfishes. They are widespread in tropical Africa, but are most common in streams at high elevations; most species are able to cling to rocks in fast-flowing streams. The 13 genera contain 68 species.
Pseudobagarius meridionalis is a species of catfish belonging to the family Akysidae. It is only known from the Barito River basin in southern Borneo.
Phreatobius is a genus of very small catfishes from tropical South America.
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.
Horabagrus is a genus of catfish in the family Horabagridae endemic to rivers in the Western Ghats in Kerala and Karnataka, India. H. brachysoma is an important food fish and members of this genus can be found in the aquarium trade.
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.
Gogo is a small genus of catfishes of the family Anchariidae. It includes four species.
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.
Pseudobagarius is a genus of catfishes of the family Akysidae.
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.
Platystacus cotylephorus, the Banded banjo, is a species of banjo catfish. It is the only member of its genus. The genus Platystacus is the sister group to a clade containing Aspredo and Aspredinichthys. P. cotylephorus originates from coastal waters and lower portions of rivers of northern South America, from Venezuela to northern Brazil.
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:
Goeldiella eques is a species of three-barbeled catfish that occurs in the Guianas and the Amazon basin of Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. This fish reaches a length of 28.9 centimetres (11.4 in) SL. It is the only species of its genus.
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.
Platyallabes tihoni is the only species in the genus Platyallabes of catfishes of the family Clariidae. This species is found in the Malebo Pool. P. tihoni has a body plan that is intermediate to the generalized, fusiform (torpedo-shaped) type such as Clarias species and the anguilliform (eel-shaped) type such as Gymnallabes. This species is known to grow up to 52.8 centimetres (20.8 in) TL.
Ketengus typus, the bigmouth sea-catfish, is the only species in the sea catfish genus Ketengus.
