Mystus is a genus of small to medium-sized bagrid catfishes that occur in South and Southeast Asia.[1]
Mystus is poorly diagnosed. Macrones had previously been used by earlier authors, but this generic name was preoccupied in Coleoptera.[2] Phylogenetic relationships within this genus are poorly understood, though it has been suggested that there are two major lineages.[3] It was confirmed in 2005 that this genus is paraphyletic.[3]
There are two fossil species assigned to this genus both from the early Tertiary of the Sanshui Basin in Guangdong, China:
- Mystus spinipectoralis Li & Wang 1979
- Mystus dalungshanensis Li & Wang 1979
