Ariidae
The Ariidae or ariid catfish are a family of catfish that mainly live in marine waters with many freshwater and brackish water species. They are found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate zones. The family includes about 143 species. Taxonomy The relationships of this family are not yet clear. Two of the genera, '' Gogo'' and '' Ancharius'', have been moved to a separate family called Anchariidae. The Ariidae are divided into three subfamilies: ''Galeichthys'' is the only genus classified in the subfamily Galeichthyinae and similarly '' Bagre'' is the only genus in the subfamily Bagreinae, while the rest of the genera are classified in the subfamily Ariinae. Previously, the family Ariidae has been grouped in the superfamily Doradoidea, but then it was moved into Bagroidea (along with Austroglanididae, Claroteidae, Schilbeidae, Pangasiidae, Bagridae, Malapteruridae, and Pimelodidae. It has also been classified in a superfamily Arioidea containing Ariidae and Anchariidae. Dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amphiarius
''Amphiarius'' is a genus of sea catfishes ( order Siluriformes) of the family Ariidae. It includes two species, the Kukwari sea catfish, ''A. phrygiatus'', and the softhead sea catfish, ''A. rugispinis''. Taxonomy ''A. phrygiatus'' and ''A. rugispinis'' were both originally described by Achille Valenciennes in 1840 as '' Arius'' species, where they have been traditionally placed. They have also been classified in the genus ''Notarius''. Since then, it has been recognized that these two species form a natural, monophyletic grouping and were suggested to represent a new, undescribed genus. The genus ''Amphiarius'' was finally erected for these two species in 2007.
