Abstract
A new garrain genus and species are described from the Zuo-Jiang of the Zhu-Jiang (Pearl River) drainage in GuangxiProvince, South China. Sinigarra, new genus, is characterized by having the lower lip modified into a mental adhesive discposteriorly discontinuous with the mental region. It is distinguished from all other disc-bearing genera, namely Garra,Placocheilus, Discocheilus and Discogobio, by having the anterior edge of the mental adhesive disc not modified to form ananteromedian crescentic fold, an upper lip present, but separated from the upper jaw, and indistinct papillae scarcely scattered over the rostral cap and lower lip or absent.References
