Conorhynchos conirostris is a monotypic genus of catfish (order Siluriformes).

The spelling of the generic name has been confused; it is currently valid as Conorhynchos as described by Pieter Bleeker in 1858.

[2] However, it has been grouped into the superfamily Pimelodoidea due to molecular evidence.

[4] This fish can reach 53.5 centimetres (21.1 in) in standard length[5] and 13 kilograms (29 lb) in weight.

[4] This fish is of commercial interest,[4] and is considered threatened by Brazil's Ministry of the Environment.
