Chiloglanis is a genus of upside-down catfishes native to Africa.[1] These species have modified lips and barbels that form a suckermouth.[2] They also have a naked (scaleless) body.[3] Sexual dimorphism has been reported in Chiloglanis. The adult males of many of these species have elongate anal and caudal fins. Also, males may have an enlarged humeral process.[4]
