Pseudolaguvia is a genus of South Asian river catfishes. These species inhabit hill streams and large rivers.[1] P. tenebricosa is found in fast running, clear water; the river has a sandy bottom and numerous rocks and boulders and aquatic vegetation is absent.[2] P. inornata is from clear, shallow, moderately flowing streams with a predominantly sandy bottom.[3] P. muricata is found in clear, shallow, slow-flowing streams with a mixed substrate of sand and detritus; these fish are found amongst detritus in areas with current.[3] P. ferula is also found in swift flowing waters with a mixed rocky/sandy bottom.[1]
