Platyclarias machadoi is the only species in the genus Platyclarias of catfishes ( order Siluriformes) of the family Clariidae. [1] It originates from the upper Cuango River in Angola. [1] It reaches up to 20.1 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. [2] P. machadoi is easily identified among the clariids due to its extremely flattened head relative to other clariids. [3]
