Bunocephalus

Agmus Eigenmann, 1910 Aspredo Swainson, 1838 Dysichthys Cope, 1874 Platystacus Bleeker, 1858 Bunocephalus is a genus of banjo catfishes from South America.

It is found in Magdalena, Orinoco, Amazon, Paraguay-Paraná, and São Francisco Rivers.

[1] There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: The removal of Pseudobunocephalus from Bunocephalus was an attempt to make it monophyletic.

[1] B. coracoideus is the most common species of banjo catfish found in the aquarium fishkeeping hobby.

[4] Some sources say they spawn under a fallen leaf or on a large rock, incubating their eggs by sitting on them, while others list them as egg-scatterers.
