***Pseudobagrus*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [bagrid catfishes](/source/Bagrid_catfish) that inhabit streams and rivers throughout [East Asia](/source/East_Asia).[1] About half of these species occur in [China](/source/China).[2]

The two *Coreobagrus* species, *C. brevicorpus* and *C. ichikiwai*, are both treated in some recent literature as valid in *Pseudobagrus*.[3] It has been noted that *[Pelteobagrus](/source/Pelteobagrus)* may not be [monophyletic](/source/Monophyly) if species placed in *Pseudobagrus* and *Coreobagrus* were excluded.[3] The taxonomy of this genus is unclear and many authorities treat it as a junior synonym of *[Tachysurus](/source/Tachysurus)*.[4]

*Pseudobagrus* species are small- to mid-sized bagrid catfishes.[1] These fish all have an inferior mouth; narial openings widely separated; four pairs of [barbels](/source/Barbel_(anatomy)); top of head covered by skin in most species; two [dorsal fin](/source/Dorsal_fin) spines; [pelvic fin](/source/Pelvic_fin) small; and [caudal fin](/source/Caudal_fin) emarginate, truncate or round.[2]

One fossil species, †*[Pseudobagrus ikiensis](/source/Pseudobagrus_ikiensis)* Watanabe & Uyeno, 1999 is known from the [Middle Miocene](/source/Middle_Miocene) of [Japan](/source/Japan).[5]
