Which is the currently accepted genera for this group of cats? I have assumed Bunocephalus, but have recently seen a number of sources refer to Dysichthys, and was wondering if anyone could quote a reference.

It's <i>Bunocephalus</i>. The most definitive work to date is John Friel's Ph.D. dissertation on aspredinids, and <i>Dysichthys</i> is considered a junior synonym of <i>Bunocephalus</i> in there.
