Liobagrus somjinensis is a species of catfish in the family Amblycipitidae (the torrent catfishes). [2] [3] It is known from the western and southern coasts of Korea and Geogeum Island, where it has been found in rivers and tributaries. L. somjinensis can be distinguished physically from other torrent catfish by the unusual length of its dorsal spine and outer mental barbel (7.3–12.4 % of SL and 15.3–21.6 % of SL respectively) and the shortness of the distance from its dorsal-fin insertion point to its adipose-fin point of origin (13.5–22.0 % of SL), as well as by markings and coloration on the fins. [1] [2] The caudal fin displays a broad vertical band in its center, yellow in hue and shaped like a crescent, while the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins have deep black colour on their outer margins. [1] [2] It grows to 10.1 cm (4.0 in) standard length. [2]

Amblycipitidae Family of fishes

The Amblycipitidae are a family of catfishes, commonly known as torrent catfishes. It includes three genera, Amblyceps, Liobagrus, and Xiurenbagrus, and about 36 species.

Amblyceps is a genus of fish in the family Amblycipitidae. The genera Amblyceps and Liobagrus are sister group pair that is, in turn, sister to Xiurenbagrus. These species are easily distinguished by the presence of pinnate processes along the median caudal-fin rays, a prominent cup-like skin flap above the base of the pectoral spine and the adipose fin largely separate from the caudal fin. In most species the caudal fin is deeply forked; A. apangi and A. murraystuarti differ in having their caudal fin truncate. Amblyceps species may reach about 100 millimetres (3.94 in) SL.

Xiurenbagrus is a genus of torrent catfishes of the family Amblycipitidae. It includes three species.

<i>Liobagrus</i> Genus of fishes

Liobagrus is a genus of catfishes of the family Amblycipitidae. Liobagrus fishes are distributed in the Yangtze River basin, Taiwan, Japan, and the Korea Peninsula. The adipose fin of these fishes is a confluent with the caudal fin. The nostrils are far apart, unlike those found in Amblyceps. Most Liobagrus species grow to about 100 millimetres (3.94 in) SL.
