Ernstichthys is a genus of banjo catfishes that occurs in the Amazon and Orinoco basins.[1]

The genus was named in honor of the Chair of Natural Science at the Central University of Venezuela biologist Adolfo (also spelled Adolf) Ernst (1832-1899).[2]


Ernstichthys species are small to medium-sized, armored aspredinids.[1] Members of this genus are distinguished from all other aspredinids by having two sets of paired pre-anal-fin plates and a strongly recurved pectoral spine that is much longer than first branched pectoral-fin ray.[1]

Species

There are currently three described species in this genus:[3]
