Bagrichthys Bagroides Bagrus Batasio Chandramara Coreobagrus Hemibagrus Hemileiocassis Horabagrus Hyalobagrus Leiocassis Mystus Nanobagrus Olyra Pelteobagrus Pseudobagrus Pseudomystus Rama Rita Sperata Sundolyra [2] Tachysurus Eomacrones † Gobibagrus † Nigerium † Nkondobagrus † The Bagridae are a family of catfish that are native to Africa (Bagrus) and Asia (all other genera) from Japan to Borneo.
The adipose fin is present and can have a relatively long base in some species.
[3] Fishes of the family Bagridae have four pairs of well-developed barbels covered by a layer of taste bud-enriched epithelium.
Auchenoglanididae is considered by some sources to be a subfamily of Claroteidae and by others to be its own family, sister to Heptapteridae.
In addition some authorities place the genus Horabagrus in the family Horabagridae[5] together with two genera which are currently normally regarded as being in the Schilbeidae.
