Caecocypris This genus is represented by a single species: a small, whitish, eyeless, troglomorphic fish without barbels and with large scales. The orbit is filled with fatty tissue, and vestigial eyes are present only in juveniles. The species was only found once in 1979; virtually nothing is known about it. The large scales, body shape, and absence of barbels indicate a relationship to the geographically adjacent genus Mesopotamichthys.
