Taxonomy
The taxonomy of this family has changed rapidly. Nelson (2006) comments how "the family is very different from that recognized in Nelson (1994)". Claroteidae and Austroglanididae contain species that were previously bagrids. Auchenoglanididae is considered by some sources to be a subfamily of Claroteidae and by others to be its own family, sister to Heptapteridae. In addition some authorities place the genus Horabagrus in the family Horabagridae together with two genera which are currently normally regarded as being in the Schilbeidae. It is unclear whether or not the family is monophyletic, and what its relationship to other catfishes might be. ==References==
