Ituglanis
Ituglanis is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae. Their greatest diversity seems to occur in the Amazon River basin.[1] Most species inhabit leaf litter, while four species have been described from caves.[1]
This genus was first erected for nine species previously classified in Trichomycterus.[2] Ituglanis is believed to be a monophyletic group.[2] There may be two monophyletic groups within this genus.[1] Ituglanis is not part of any of the trichomycterid subfamilies.[3] Instead, it has been suggested to be the sister group of a large clade composed of the Tridentinae, Stegophilinae, Vandelliinae, Sarcoglanidinae, and Glanapteryginae.[1]
