''Silurichthys'' is a genus of sheatfishes native to Asia. Some ''Silurichthys'' species are economically important as aquarium fishes, and many are useful biological indicators of the health of freshwater or peat swamp forests. In ''Silurichthys'' species, the eyes are small and under the skin.〔 It is likely sexual dimorphism is present in all species, based on species where there enough specimens available. Mature males of all species have a broad and somewhat flattened pectoral fin spine with "serrae" (saw-like teeth); in females and juveniles, the spine is slender and has no spines.〔 ==Species== There are currently nine recognized species in this genus: *''Silurichthys citatus'' Ng & Kottelat, 1997 *''Silurichthys gibbiceps'' Ng & Ng, 1998 *''Silurichthys hasseltii'' Bleeker, 1858 *''Silurichthys indragiriensis'' Volz, 1904 *''Silurichthys ligneolus'' Ng & Tan, 2011 (Brown leaf catfish) *''Silurichthys marmoratus'' Ng & Ng, 1998 *''Silurichthys phaiosoma'' (Bleeker, 1851) *''Silurichthys sanguineus'' Roberts, 1989 *''Silurichthys schneideri'' Volz, 1904 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silurichthys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
