Etymology: Garra: Name based on a vernacular Indian name (Hamilton, 1822:343, Ref. 1813); a fish living in mud (Ref. 128817); regressus: The species name regressus, from the Latin 'regress', meaning to go back, is chosen in reference to the regressed rostral cap characteristic of the species (Ref. 58532).

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 8. Diagnosis: This species is unique among African Garra in possession of a small, acutely pointed head, narrow mouth, regressed rostral cap, and a fully exposed upper jaw (Ref. 58532).
Specimens were collected by trawl in papyrus beds close to shore, 25-30m, in water about 2.5m in depth (Ref. 58532).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00331 - 0.01740), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
