"Ituglanis" is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae. Their greatest diversity seems to occur in the Amazon River basin.cite journal|url=http://www.ufrgs.br/ni/vol3num4%5CNI_v3n4p455-464lowr.pdf|journal=Neotropical Ichthyology|volume=3|issue=4|pages=455–464|year=2005|title="Ituglanis macunaima", a new catfish from the rio Araguaia basin, Brazil (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)|first=Aléssio|last=Datovo|coauthors=Landim, Maria Isabel|format=PDF|doi=10.1590/S1679-62252005000400002] Most species inhabit leaf litter, while four species have been described from caves.

This genus was first erected for nine species previously classified in "Trichomycterus". "Ituglanis" is believed to be a monophyletic group. There may be two monophyletic groups within this genus. "Ituglanis" is not part of any of the trichomycterid subfamilies. Instead, it has been suggested to be the sister group of a large clade composed of the Tridentinae, Stegophilinae, Vandelliinae, Sarcoglanidinae, and Glanapteryginae.
