Ituglanis is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Trichomycteridae native to South America. Their greatest diversity seems to occur in the Amazon River basin.Datovo, A. & Landim, M.I. (2005): [http://www.scielo.br/pdf/ni/v3n4/v3n4a02.pdf Ituglanis macunaima, a new catfish from the rio Araguaia basin, Brazil (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae).] Neotropical Ichthyology, 3 (4): 455–464. Most species inhabit leaf litter, with several species living in caves.
This genus was first erected for nine species previously classified in Trichomycterus.Sarmento-Soares, L.M., Martins-Pinheiro, R.F., Aranda, A.T. & Chamon, C.C. (2006): [http://www.scielo.br/pdf/ni/v4n3/v4n3a02.pdf Ituglanis cahyensis, a new catfish from Bahia, Brazil (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae).] Neotropical Ichthyology, 4 (3): 309-318. Ituglanis is believed to be a monophyletic group. There may be two monophyletic groups within this genus. Ituglanis is currently considered a member of the subfamily Trichomycterinae though its position as a member of any of the current subfamilies has been questioned.{{FishBase_genus | genus = Ituglanis | month = June | year = 2016 }}Campos-Paiva, R.M. & Costa, W.J.E.M. (2007): [http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2007f/z01471p059f.pdf Ituglanis paraguassuensis sp. n. (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae): a new catfish from the rio Paraguaçu, northeastern Brazil.] Zootaxa, 1471: 53-59. Instead, it has been suggested to be the sister group of a large clade composed of the Glanapteryginae, Sarcoglanidinae, Stegophilinae, Tridentinae and Vandelliinae.
