Horabagridae is a family of catfishes containing four genera, Horabagrus , Pachypterus , Platytropius and Pseudeutropius . ^{[1] [2]} Horobagrus has been more usually assigned to the family Bagridae and sometimes it has been suggested it is closer to the Schilbeidae which is where the other two genera have been more conventionally placed. ^{[1] [3]} However, more recent taxonomic treatments continue to place it as close to the Bagridae and Ailiidae. ^[4]
