Garra smartae Krupp & Budd, 2009 , Endemic Fig. 28 Etymology: Garra : named based on a vernacular Indian name, a fish living in mud; smartae : named in honour of Ms. Emma Smart, Dubai , in recognition of her studies of Arabian wadi fishes and her contributions to the conservation of freshwater habitats in Arabia. Common name: Wadi Hasik Garra . Taxonomy: Garra smarti was originally described by Krupp [F.] & Budd [K.] 2009:117, figs.1-4 [aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology v. 15 (no. 2)] Wadi Hasik , 17°26.5’77”’N, 55°13’40.11”E , Dhofar Province , Oman . The species name was dedicated to a woman, so there is a mandatory change to Garra smartae ( Fricke et al . 2022 ) . FIGURE 28. Garra smartae , Oman: Laggashalyon. Holotype : SMF 31301 . Paratypes : ONHM uncat. (5) ; SMF 31302 (4) , 31303 (1). Short description: Garra smartae differs from all other Arabian Garra by the following combination of characters: elongate body with acutely pointed snout tip, consistently III, 7½ dorsal-fin rays, 34–35 scales in the lateral line, 14–16 circumpeduncular scale rows, breast and belly behind pectoral-fin origin fully covered by scales but scales on ventral midline and in front of pectoral-fin base deeply embedded and small or absent, 13–15 gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch, mental disc small, usually longer than wide, anus closer to anal-fin origin than in any other Arabian Garra and no tubercle on snout. Distribution: Restricted to a large waterfall pool in the Hasik village, Dhofar region , Oman ( Fig. 29 ). Here we record the second population of this fish in the Dhofar region ( Fig. 29 ). Examined material: Based on holotype and paratypes (see Krupp & Budd 2009 ).
