Etymology: Labroides: Combination of the labrid genus Labrus and the Greek suffix -oides meaning ‘resembling’ or ‘to bear likeness to’, presumably referring to its similarity with the genus Labrus (or simply other members of the family Labridae); quadrilineatus: Name from Latin ‘quadri’ meaning ‘four’, and ‘linea’ meaning ‘line’, possibly referring to the four bright blue stripes (two on each side) in the juvenile and immature stages.

This species is distinguished by the following characters: D IX,11; A III,10; pectoral-fin rays 13; upper procurrent caudal-fin rays 6-7, lower 7-8; principal caudal-fin rays 8 + 7; circumpeduncular scales 22-24; body depth 3.4-3.8 in SL; head length 2.6-3.3 in SL; snout length 2.4-4.2 in HL; orbit diameter 2.5-5.5 in HL; orbit diameter 0.6-1.9 in snout length; caudal-peduncle length 1.6-5.1 in HL; pored lateral-line scales 27-28; scale rows above lateral line 4-5, below lateral line 10-12; total gill rakers 12-14; lower lip U-shaped, its anterior margin ventrally furled, occasionally split medially; inner surface of upper and lower lips plicate. Colouration: juveniles and Initial phase with two electric blue stripes, posterior dorsal and anal fins with a conspicuous black ocellus; Terminal phase males uniformly navy blue with pale blue boomerang shaped stripe on cheek (Ref. 138889).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in fringing reefs, among coral heads and in areas with dense coral growth (Ref. 9710). Adults feed on coral polyps while juveniles act as cleaners of other fishes (Ref. 8883); client fish include Pseudanthias squamipinnis, Parupeneus macronemus (Ref. 138889).
