Garra turcica, from the rivers Kızıl, Seyhan, Ceyhan and Arsuz, is re-diagnosed and re-described. The species was treated as a synonym of G. rufa but molecular data strongly suggest that G. turcica represent an own species. It is distinguished from G. rufa by being more slender bodied, having a blunt snout and usually a short rostral cap. Based on COI sequence data, G. turcica is closely related to a group of species from the Persian Gulf basin, all having very small distribution areas nested in or adjacent to the range of G. rufa. The closest relatives of G. turcica are G. elegans, G. mondica and G. amirhosseini from which G. turcica differs by having a free posterior edge of the mental disc, the predorsal back covered by scales and the scales on the chest about as large as on the belly as well as by a minimum K2P distance of 2.2% in its COI barcode region.
来自基齐尔河、塞伊汉河、杰伊汉河和阿尔苏兹河的土耳其加拉鱼被重新诊断和重新描述。该物种曾被视为鲁氏加拉鱼的同义词，但分子数据有力地表明，土耳其加拉鱼是一个独立的物种。它与鲁氏加拉鱼的区别在于身体更细长，吻部钝，通常有一个短的吻帽。基于细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）序列数据，土耳其加拉鱼与一组来自波斯湾盆地的物种密切相关，这些物种的分布区域都非常小，嵌套在鲁氏加拉鱼分布范围内或与之相邻。土耳其加拉鱼最亲近的亲属是秀丽加拉鱼、蒙迪卡加拉鱼和阿米尔侯赛尼加拉鱼，土耳其加拉鱼与之不同之处在于其颏部盘的后缘游离，背前部覆盖有鳞片，胸部鳞片大小与腹部鳞片大致相同，以及其COI条形码区域的最小K2P距离为2.2%。
