Platyclarias machadoi is the only species in the genus Platyclarias of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Clariidae.[1] It originates from the upper Cuango River in Angola.[1] It reaches up to 20.1 centimetres (7.9 in) TL.[2] P. machadoi is easily identified among the clariids due to its extremely flattened head relative to other clariids.[3]
