Just a little point that these would be helpfully posted a two posts, but it is a little bit of me splitting hairs as the search engine would find them.

Hmmm, was the combination of Heteropneustidae into Clariidae generally accepted after the latter paper was published?

Actually, the combination is a pending fact. No actual publication has acknowledged the combination yet, but it is listed as such in the ACSI website. This is because the most recent (as yet unpublished) catfish phylogenies support this combination.
I suspect this might go the way of the Pimelodidae split. No formal publication, but becoming generally accepted.

Actually the spit of the old Pimelodidae into Heptapteridae, a new restricted Pimelodidae and Pseudopimelodae has been formally published in:
