 The two "Coreobagrus" species, "C. brevicorpus" and "C. ichikiwai", are both treated in some recent literature as valid in "Pseudobagrus".It has been noted that "Pelteobagrus" may not be monophyletic if species placed in "Pseudobagrus" and "Coreobagrus" were excluded.The taxonomy of this genus is unclear and many authorities treat it as a junior synonym of "Tachysurus".
