Pseudobagarius

Pseudobagarius includes species that were originally part of the pseudobagarius group of the genus Akysis. This group was first recognized in 1998; the authors recognized it as conceivable that this group and the Akysis variegatus represented two genera, but tentatively retained the species in a single genus.^[1] The genus was erected for these species in 2007.^[2]

Pseudobagarius species are from Southeast Asia, including Borneo, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.^[1][2] Pseudobagarius species typically inhabit clear, swiftly flowing upland streams with sandy or rocky substrates. However, P. similis is known to occur in brackish water.^[3]
