Treatment

Reganella Eigenmann, 1905 ZBK .

Type species: Hemiodon depressus Kner, 1853 ZBK .

Lectotype: NMW 9438 , Brazil, Rio Negro, Marabitanas .

Gender: feminine.

This monotypic genus is distributed in the middle Amazon River basin. Ecological and behavioral data are unavailable. The dorsoventrally flattened body suggests that Reganella ZBK inhabits flowing waters over sandy substrates. Reganella depressa is a poorly known species and uncommon in collections. Its phylogenetic position remains uncertain and relationship to other representatives of the Pseudohemiodon ZBK group is unclear.
