Reganella depressa is the only species of the monotypic genus Reganella, a genus of the family Loricariidae of catfish (order Siluriformes).[1] R.depressa is a poorly known species and uncommon in collections. Its phylogenetic position remains uncertain.[1]

This species is endemic to Brazil where it occurs in the middle Amazon basin, including the Negro, Tapajos, and Branco Rivers.[1][2] R. depressa probably inhabits sandy substrates with flowing waters.[1] R. depressa reaches a length of 11.3 centimetres (4.4 in) SL.[2]
