Ageneiosus inermis, also known as Fidalgo, Dawala or Mandubé,^[1] is a species of driftwood catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found throughout South America, from Colombia and Venezuela to Uruguay and northern Argentina.^[3]^[4]

The name Ageneiosus marmoratus has been recently synonymized with A. inermis. The description was based on a strongly pigmented juvenile of A. inermis.^[4] The species feeds on a piscivorous diet, mainly hunting catfishes in the family Loricariidae and Doradidae.^[5]
