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]
