Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.
Ituglanis nebulosus is a trichomycterid catfish native to French Guiana. There have been no reports of this species outside of its native range. Like other trichomycterids, I. nebulosus is classified as a prohibited species in the state of Florida, where it cannot be possessed or transported without a permit. Due to a low climate match and absence of introduction history, the overall risk posed by I. nebulosus to the contiguous U.S. is uncertain.
