Aspredinichthys is a genus of banjo catfishes found in fresh and brackish waters in tropical South America from the Orinoco delta, through the Guianas, to the Amazon delta.[1] Both species are found in lower portions of rivers and in coastal waters of northern South America from Venezuela to northern Brazil[2] where they are benthic fish.[3]
