Horaglanis is a genus of small airbreathing catfishes that are endemic to Kerala in India.[1] The four known species are all adapted to life underground, lack pigmentation and are blind.[2]
This genus and Kryptoglanis, both from the Western Ghats, are the only known underground-living catfish in India.[2][3]
