Abstract
External morphological traits diagnostic for valid genera in the Asian catfish families Sisoridae and Erethistidae were identified from publications and the examination of specimens. Diagnoses based on external morphological traits are predicted to significantly facilitate taxonomic revisions in these families. Erethistidae contains six valid genera (Ayarnangra, Caelatoglanis, Conta, Erethistes, Erethistoides, Pseudolaguvia) and about 25 species. Sisoridae contains 16 valid genera (Bagarius, Euchiloglanis, Exostoma, Gagata, Glaridoglanis, Glyptosternon, Glyptothorax, Gogangra, Myersglanis, Nangra, Oreoglanis, Parachiloglanis, Pareuchiloglanis, Pseudecheneis, Pseudexostoma, Sisor) and about 144 species. Lists of valid species and their distributions are given for each genus.
