Reganella depressa is the only species of the monotypic genus Reganella, a genus of the family Loricariidae of catfish (order Siluriformes). [2] R. depressa is a poorly known species and uncommon in collections. Its phylogenetic position remains uncertain. [2]

This species is endemic to Brazil where it occurs in the middle Amazon basin, including the Negro, Tapajos, and Branco Rivers. [2] [3] R. depressa probably inhabits sandy substrates with flowing waters. [2] R. depressa reaches a length of 11.3 centimetres (4.4 in) SL. [3]
