Etymology: Garra: Name based on a vernacular Indian name (Hamilton, 1822:343, Ref. 1813); a fish living in mud (Ref. 128817).
Eponymy: William Thomas Blanford (1832–1905) was an English geologist and zoologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 11; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 9. Diagnosis: Garra blanfordii is unique among African Garra in a uniformly either cream or pale yellow-brown coloration and with the absence of distinct markings on head, body or fins (Ref. 58532). It is further distinguished from African congeners by the following combination of features: well developed disc; either smooth, or only very weakly incised ventral margin to rostral cap; fully scaled predorsal region; asquamate chest, belly and postpelvic region; and relatively large gas bladder (Ref. 58532).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
