Ageneiogarra Garman, 1912 Brachygramma Day, 1865 Discognathichthys Bleeker, 1860 Discognathus Heckel, 1843 Hemigrammocapoeta Pellegrin, 1927 Iranocypris Bruun & Kaiser, 1944 Lissorhynchus Bleeker, 1860 Mayoa Day, 1870 Phreatichthys Vinciguerra, 1924 Platycara McClelland, 1838 Tylognathoides Tortonese, 1938 Typhlogarra Trevawas, 1955 Garra is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae.

They are distinguished from other cyprinids by a combination of features: As in their closest relatives, their lower lip is expanded at its posterior rim to form a round or oval sucking pad, the vomero-palatine organ is much reduced or completely lost, the pectoral fins have at least the first two rays enlarged and usually unbranched, the supraethmoid is wider than long when seen from above, and the cleithrum is narrow and elongated to the front.

Six species in the genus (G. andruzzii, G. dunsirei, G. lorestanensis, G. tashanensis, G. typhlops and some populations of G. barreimiae) are cave-adapted, lacking pigmentation and/or eyes.

The food is scraped off with the sharp keratinized borders of the jaws and ingested via suction, created by contracting and relaxing the buccopharynx.

[3] When the females are ready to spawn, they are markedly plump and swollen; the ripe roe may fill almost four-fifths of their body cavity.
