Ammoglanis Malacoglanis Microcambeva Sarcoglanis Stauroglanis Stenolicmus The Sarcoglanidinae are a subfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae.

[2] Despite their scarcity in museum collections, sarcoglanidines possibly occur throughout the entire Amazon and the Orinoco basins.

[3] Sarcoglanidines usually live in sandy banks of rivers and streams,[2] feeding on minute arthropods.

[4] Sarcoglanidines are all very small (to the extent of some species being considered 'miniaturized'), usually not exceeding 25 mm (1.0 in) in standard length (SL).

[2] Sarcoglanis simplex and Malacoglanis gelatinosus possess an uncommonly deep body, a hypertrophied sac-like adipose organ above the pectoral fin, and the absence of premaxillary teeth.
