Bagarius bagarius
''Bagarius bagarius'', also known as the devil catfish, dwarf goonch or goonch ((ベンガル語:বাঘাইর)), is a species of catfish in the genus ''Bagarius''. It is generally reported as being found in large and medium rivers in South and Southeast Asia, but considerable taxonomic confusion surrounds this species and ''B. yarrelli''.〔
==Taxonomy==
At present the standard is to recognise two species of ''Bagarius'' from the Indian Subcontinent: First ''B. bagarius'', supposedly a small species (up to ) first described in 1822 by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton based on a specimen from the Ganges River.〔 The second is ''B. yarrelli'', supposedly a very large species (up to ) first described in 1839 by William Henry Sykes based on a specimen from the Mula-Mutha River.〔 This larger type has been accused of several fatal attacks on humans in the Mahakali River that is Nepal's western border with India. Recent studies have not been able to document that more than one species exists in the Indian subcontinent, which, if confirmed, would mean that the name ''B. bagarius'' is a senior synonym of ''B. yarrelli''.〔〔 In contrast, Southeast Asian populations typically included in ''B. bagarius'' likely represents a separate species.〔
