* ''[[Hyalobagrus flavus]]'' [[Ng Heok Hee|H. H. Ng]] & [[Maurice Kottelat|Kottelat]], 1998 (Shadow catfish)
* ''[[Hyalobagrus leiacanthus]]'' [[Ng Heok Hee|H. H. Ng]] & [[Maurice Kottelat|Kottelat]], 1998

==Distribution==
''Hyalobagrus'' species are distributed in Asia.

==Description==
These catfish species are small and transparent.<ref name="Linder"/> The three species can be distinguished by differences in body shape, coloration, and the degree of [[serration]]s on the anterior edge of the [[pectoral fin]] spine.<ref name=planetcatfish/> The three species range from about 3–4.4 centimetres (1.2–1.7 in) [[fish measurement|SL]].<ref name=flavus>{{FishBase|genus=Hyalobagrus|species=flavus|year=2007|month=June}}</ref><ref name=leiacanthus>{{FishBase|genus=Hyalobagrus|species=leiacanthus|year=2007|month=June}}</ref><ref name=ornatus>{{FishBase|genus=Hyalobagrus|species=ornatus|year=2007|month=June}}</ref>

''Hyalobagrus'' species are [[sexual dimorphism|sexually dimorphic]], males possess a [[genital papilla]], and [[gravidity|gravid]] females are easy to spot since their blue-green eggs are visible through their bellies.<ref name="Linder"/>

==Ecology==
These catfish are mid-water swimmers.<ref name="Linder"/> They are also schooling fish.<ref name=planetcatfish/> In their natural habitat, they are almost always found closely associated with submerged vegetation.<ref name=planetcatfish/>

==In the aquarium==
''H. flavus'' and ''H. ornatus'' are known to be exported for the [[aquarium]] trade.<ref name=planetcatfish/><ref name=ornatus/> ''H. flavus'' first appeared in the hobby in the 1980s.<ref name=planetcatfish>{{cite web|url=http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/cotm.php?article_id=165|title=PlanetCatfish::Catfish of the Month::November 2004|date=2005-11-10|accessdate=2007-06-19}}</ref> They seem to do best in a heavily planted tank with tankmates that will not out compete them for food.<ref name="Linder"/> They are a peaceful, diurnal community species that accept all kinds of foods.<ref name=planetcatfish/> None of these species have been bred in captivity.<ref name="Linder">{{cite journal|url=http://www.catfishstudygroup.org/pdf/catfishes_of_asia1.pdf |title=The Catfishes of Asia Family Bagridae part one |last=Linder |first=R.
