; eau douce benthopélagique; non migrateur. Tropical
Africa: mainly found on the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia and Yemen), but also in south-eastern Eritrea, south-eastern Ethiopia, and possibly also in Somalia (Ref. 58532). Reports from the Nile River basin, including Lake Tana, of specimens with a small mental disc, are misidentifications of other species (Ref. 96382). Its presence in Chad basin (Ref. 2940, 81282), where it is indicated as Garra cf. quadrimaculata, is not confirmed (Ref. 58532).

Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.7 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2801)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Diagnosis: Garra quadrimaculata is distinguished from African congeners by the following combination of features: well developed papillate disc; fully scaled predorsum, chest, belly and postpelvic regions; vent positioned very close to anal fin; and long intestine (Ref. 58532).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
