Amblyceps Amblyceps Amblyceps is a genus of fish in the family Amblycipitidae. The genera "Amblyceps" and "Liobagrus" are sister group pair that is, in turn, sister to "Xiurenbagrus". These species are easily distinguished by the presence of pinnate processes along the median caudal-fin rays (although these processes may be poorly developed in some species), a prominent cup-like skin flap above the base of the pectoral spine and the adipose fin largely separate from the caudal fin. In most species the caudal fin is deeply forked; "A. apangi" and "A. murraystuarti" differ in having their caudal fin truncate. "Amblyceps" species may reach
