Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: no pigment and eyes (vs. presence of eyes and pigments in all epigean species); with mental disc (vs. absence in G. typhlops), with 2 pairs of barbels (vs. 3 in the sympatric subterranean loach, Paracobitis smithi; 1 in G. variabilis); naked body (vs. body fully covered by scales or scales restricted to lateral midline in G. widdowsoni); a K2P nearest-neighbor distance of 3.8% to G. typhlops and 4.2% to G. rufa (Ref. 107074).
Collected from a area with a small pool (about 2 m across narrowing rapidly inside) and flowing exit stream lower down the gorge (only at the beginning of spring for 40-60 days), about 50 m away from the main locality. The stream falls over a high waterfall (about 10 m) so that the locality is isolated from the local fishes in the main river (Ref. 107074).

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=0.00776 (0.00354 - 0.01702), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
