The Auchenoglanididae are a fish family from the order of the catfish-like (Siluriformes) living in fresh waters of Africa . The genera of the Auchenoglanididae were originally part of the spiny catfish (Bagridae, or the subfamily Auchenoglaninae), later they were assigned to the Claroteidae as the subfamily Auchenoglanidinae . In the fourth edition of Fishes of the World , a standard work on fish systematics, they form an independent family.
