Citation Description Asia: Southern Shan States in Myanmar. Geographic Range [top] Range Description: Garra gravelyi is known from southern Shan States of Myanmar and Manipur (Chindwin basin), and Mizoram, in northeastern India. Vishwanath and Tombi Singh (1987) reported the fish for the first time from Chindwin River basin of Manipur in northeastern India. They remarked that distribution of the fish in Manipur may be due to the water connection between the Myanmar and Manipur through the Chindwin drainage. The report of Garra gravelyi from Tuirini River (Barak-Brahmaputra River basin) in Mizoram in northeastern India by Kar and Sen (2007) needs further confirmation on the identity of the specimens.
