A member of the disc-bearing group composed of four other garrain genera, namely Garra , Placocheilus , Discogobioand Discocheilus. This group has lower lip modified into a mental adhesive disc posteriorly discontinuous from the mental region. This species can be diagnosed by having the anterior margin of the mental adhesive disc not modified (vs. modified) into an anteromedian crescentic fold, an upper lip present (vs. absent) but separated from the upper jaw, and indistinct (vs. more prominent) papillae scarcely (vs. densely) scattered over the rostral cap and lower lip or absent (Ref. 93153).
