Tariqilabeo comprises small labeonines related to Garra . They share several characteristics with the latter, including a rounded snout, a mouth usually inferior and crescent-shaped, a horny edge on the lower jaw, a rostral cap usually fringed, and non-thickened unbranched dorsal rays. Tariqilabeo can be readily distinguished from superficially similar species of Garra lacking a gular disc, and the lower jaw and area behind it are heavily tuberculated with glandular openings and irregularly arranged hard ridges. Eight species are known. Their systematics and diversity have not been well studied, and numerous changes in taxonomy are expected in the future. Previously, species were included in the Southeast Asian genus Crossocheilus and Gonorhynchus . Crossocheilus is now restricted to a few species related to C. siamensis and is only found from Myanmar to the east.
