Akysidae Amblycipitidae (Aspredinidae) Erethistidae Sisoridae Sisoroidea is a superfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes).
It contains the four families Amblycipitidae, Akysidae, Sisoridae, and Erethistidae; many sources also include Aspredinidae.
[3] However, it has been proposed to move the erethistid genera back into Sisoridae.
[4] Also, some authors have removed Aspredinidae from Sisoroidea, having found it to be more closely related to Doradoidea (Doradidae, Auchenipteridae, and possibly Mochokidae) with morphological and molecular evidence.
[5][6] Sisoroidea includes almost exclusively Asiatic catfish families with the exception of Aspredinidae, which is native to South America.
