  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The catfish genus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; in the exclusively Neotropical family Auchenipteridae is revised. Species of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; are widely distributed in all major South American continental drainages except the São Francisco River basin and small rivers along the Brazilian east coast. The taxonomic revision was based on examination of available type specimens, additional museum material and comparisons of original descriptions. A suite of morphometric, meristic and qualitative characters of internal and external anatomy were used to diagnose valid species and determine synonyms. Thirteen valid species are recognized in the genus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, some of which are widely distributed across South America. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus pardalis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; is the only trans-Andean species in the genus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus polystictus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus uranophthalmus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; are more widely distributed than previously reported. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus marmoratus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; is a junior synonym of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus inermis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus dentatus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; is a valid species and its name is removed from the synonymy of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus ucayalensis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Four new species are described: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus akamai&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus apiaka&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus intrusus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus lineatus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, all from the Amazon River basin. A dichotomous key for all 13 valid species of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ageneiosus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; species is provided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
