'''''Pseudobagarius''''' is a [[genus]] of [[catfish]]es ([[order (biology)|order]] Siluriformes) of the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Akysidae]].

==Taxonomy==
''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.<ref name="Ng1998">{{cite journal|title=The catfish genus ''Akysis'' Bleeker (Teleostei: Akysidae) in Indochina, with descriptions of six new species|first=Heok Hee|last=Ng|author2=Kottelat, M. |journal=Journal of Natural History|year=1998|volume=32|pages=1057–1097|doi=10.1080/00222939800770531|issue=7|bibcode=1998JNatH..32.1057N }}</ref> The genus was erected for these species in 2007.<ref name="Ferraris">{{cite journal|url=http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/library/biblios/2007_Ferraris_Catfish_Checklist.pdf|title=Checklist of catfishes, recent and fossil (Osteichthyes: Siluriformes), and catalogue of siluriform primary types|first=Carl J.

==Distribution and habitat==
''Pseudobagarius'' species are from [[Southeast Asia]], including [[Borneo]], [[Cambodia]], [[China]], [[Laos]], [[Thailand]], and [[Vietnam]].<ref name="Ng1998"/><ref name="Ferraris"/> ''Pseudobagarius'' species typically inhabit clear, swiftly flowing upland streams with sandy or rocky substrates. However, ''P. similis'' is known to occur in [[brackish water]].<ref name="Ng2005">{{cite journal|title=''Akysis hardmani'' (Siluriformes: Akysidae), a new species of catfish from Thailand|first=Heok Hee|last=Ng|author2=Sabaj, Mark H. |journal=Ichthyol.

==Description==
''Pseudobagarius'' species are akysids with the snout extending well anterior of the margin of lower jaw (which renders the mouth subterminal), the anterior and posterior nostrils relatively large and closely set (separated only by the base of the nasal barbel), and the [[caudal fin]] deeply forked.<ref name="Ng1998"/><ref name="Ferraris"/>
