Banjo fish images -The Aspredinidae are a small South American family of catfishes (order Siluriformes) also known as the banjo catfishes, with about 39 species.
Aspredinids are found throughout the major tropical rivers of South America (e.g., Magdalena, Orinoco, Amazon, São Francisco, Paraguay-Paraná, and Uruguay). Bunocephalus is the only genus found in rivers west of the Andes including the Atrato, San Juan, and Patía Rivers. (Wikipedia)

Of the 13 genera in the family Aspredinidae, a few genera have been described relatively recently, including Acanthobunocephalus in 1995, Micromyzon in 1996, and Pseudobunocephalus in 2008. These genera are categorized into three subfamilies.
The Aspredinidae are often recognized as a part of the primarily Asian superfamily Sisoroidea as the sister group to the family Erethistidae. However, other authors find that they are sister to the superfamily Doradoidea, which includes Doradidae, Auchenipteridae, and perhaps Mochokidae.
