Auchenoglanididae

The genera of the Auchenoglanididae were originally assigned to the spiny catfish (Bagridae, or to the subfamily Auchenoglaninae), later they were assigned to the Claroteidae as the subfamily Auchenoglanidinae.

In the fourth edition of Fishes of the World, a standard work on fish systematics, they form an independent family. Common features of the family are the rounded to emarginate caudal fin and the position of the posterior nostrils on the sides of the upper lip. It contains the three genera Auchenoglanis, Parauchenoglanis and Notoglanidium.
