Chiloglanis is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Mochokidae. Chiloglanis species have modified lips and barbels that form a suckermouth.[1] Sexual dimorphism has been reported in Chiloglanis. The adult males of many of these species have elongate anal and caudal fins. Also, males may have an enlarged humeral process.[2]
