Garra cavernicola, new species, is described from the Hajar Mountains in Oman. It very closely related to sympatric, but not syntopic, G. longipinnis, which it distinguished by absence of an external eye, reduced squamation, and a whitish, or pink-coloured body. cavernicola was identified as "cave form" now recognised separate species following 'Evolutionary Species Concept', with evolutionary trajectory distinct those longipinnis. As nested within longipinnis clade, this considered paraphyletic ancestral species.
