The Anchariidae are a family of catfishes containing two genera, Ancharius and Gogo[1] with 6 species. Anchariids are a strictly freshwater group endemic to Madagascar.[2] Anchariids are characterized by the presence of fringed barbels and a reduced anterior nuchal plate.[2]

Traditionally, Ancharius is classified in Ariidae. The general consensus in recent years is that anchariids are members of Ariidae and do not warrant family rank.[2] However, this family was recently revised in 2005, which reinstated the separate family for Ancharius and described the genus Gogo.[2]
A molecular analysis grouped Anchariidae with Ariidae under the superfamily Arioidea.[3]
