Open encyclopedia reference
Garra yiliangensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra from Yunnan in China. The species is known only from the type specimen which was collected in the 1960s from a hill stream in Nan Pan Jiang, Yiliang County, Yunnan Province and was formally described in 1977. It may be a disjunct population of Garra poilanei and more research is needed.
