Austroglanis is the only genus in the catfish family Austroglanididae. This family was split off from the Bagridae catfish family.[1] All three species of catfishes in the family Austroglanididae are endemic to southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia), and two species are threatened.[2]
These fish have three pairs of barbels (they lack nasal barbels). They have strong dorsal and pectoral fin spines. The adipose fin is small.[1]
Species
There are currently three described species in this genus:[3]
- Austroglanis barnardi (P. H. Skelton, 1981) (Barnard's rock-catfish)
- Austroglanis gilli (Barnard, 1943) (Clanwilliam catfish)
- Austroglanis sclateri (Boulenger, 1901) (Rock-catfish)
