Etymology: findolabium: The name is from the Latin adjectives findo (split), and labium (lip), in reference to posterior edge of the oral sucking disc with a median fissure and divided it into two lamellas (Ref. 75600). However, the compound word 'findolabium' is unambiguously a noun and since there are no others spellings of 'findolabium' within the original description (that it cannot be ascribed to be an inadvertent mistake\0 and the usage is persistent and has been used by later authors, the epithet is treated as a noun in apposition and remains unchanged (Ref. 129011).

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 7. Differs from all other species of the genus Garra in Southeast Asia and China by having the following combination of characters: posterior edge of the oral sucking disc with a median fissure dividing it into two lamellae; an anomalistic dark patch on caudal fin, extending to 50% of caudal fin length; absence of barbels; absence of a proboscis in front of nostrils; lateral line scales 37-38; circumpeduncular scales 16; distance of anus to anal-fin origin about 33.3-38.7% of distance of pelvic-fin origin to anal fin origin (Ref. 75600).
