Reganella is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armored suckermouth catfishes.[2] The only species in this genus is Reganella depressa.[4] R. depressa is a poorly known species and uncommon in collections. Its phylogenetic position remains uncertain.[4]
This species is endemic to Brazil where it occurs in the middle Amazon basin, including the Negro, Tapajos, and Branco Rivers.[4][5] R. depressa probably inhabits sandy substrates with flowing waters.[4] R. depressa reaches a length of 11.3 centimetres (4.4 in) SL.[5]
