Bagrus is a genus of bagrid catfishes. Its present scientific name was first proposed by Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc in 1816 for the Bayad and its closest relatives. Although in 1809, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire had already separated this fish in his new genus ''Porcus''. But this was overruled by the ICZN, so that the junior synonym could continue to be used.〔Ferraris (2007)〕 == Species == Eleven living species are placed here: * ''Bagrus bajad'' (Forsskål, 1775) (Bayad) * ''Bagrus caeruleus'' T.
