Ituglanis is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Trichomycteridae native to South America. Their greatest diversity seems to occur in the Amazon River basin. [1] Most species inhabit leaf litter, with several species living in caves. [1]

This genus was first erected for nine species previously classified in Trichomycterus . [2] Ituglanis is believed to be a monophyletic group. [2] There may be two monophyletic groups within this genus. [1] Ituglanis is currently considered a member of the subfamily Trichomycterinae though its position as a member of any of the current subfamilies has been questioned. [3] [4] Instead, it has been suggested to be the sister group of a large clade composed of the Glanapteryginae, Sarcoglanidinae, Stegophilinae, Tridentinae and Vandelliinae. [1]
