Typhlogarra widdowsoni or Garra widdowsoni, the Iraq blind barb or Haditha cave garra, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to underground water systems near Haditha in Iraq.[1][2] Although traditionally placed in its own genus Typhlogarra, this is not supported by genetic evidence,[3][4] leading to its move to Garra.[2] This cavefish is considered critically endangered because of water extraction, which has lowered the groundwater level.[1] Once abundant, a survey in 2012 found that it now was very rare.[1] Another species from the same place, Caecocypris basimi, may already be extinct.[5] The only other known cavefish in Iraq is Eidinemacheilus proudlovei.[6]
