Garra typhlops, also known as the Iran cave barb, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to caves in Iran. Like other cave-adapted fish, it is blind and lacks pigmentation.[2][3]
Three other cave-adapted fish species are known from Iran: Garra lorestanensis, G. tashanensis and the Zagroz blind loach (Eidinemacheilus smithi).[4][5][6] In the general region there are three additional cavefish species, all Iraqi cypriniforms: Eidinemacheilus proudlovei, Caecocypris basimi, and Garra widdowsoni.[7][8]
