Notoglanidium depierrei is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) family Claroteidae.[1] This species is endemic to Cameroon where it is known only from its type locality of the Sanaga River Basin.[1] It reaches a length of about 17.2 centimetres (6.8 in) SL.[2] It was formerly considered to be the sole member of the monotypic genus Platyglanis but this has now been synonymised with Notoglanidium.[3]
