Abstract: A new subspecies of Doctor Fish of the genus Garra (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Wadi Qana Nature Reserve springs and pools, Salfit Governorate, State of Palestine is described. This subspecies is distinguished from the other six freshwater subspecies of Garra rufa living in the Middle East by its distinctive body colouration and the smaller size. It is morphologically and geographically distinct from the other six subspecies. The new subspecies was named Garra rufa wadiqana Khalaf, 2013. Keywords: Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae, Garra rufa wadiqana, Freshwater Fish, Doctor Fish, Palestine Doctor Fish, Wadi Qana Doctor Fish, New Subspecies, Wadi Qana, Nature Reserve, Springs, Pools, Salfit Governorate, Palestine, State of Palestine, Near East, Middle East.

Introduction: During a field trip to Wadi Qana, which is an important nature reserve in the northern West Bank of the Jordan River, Salfit Governorate, State of Palestine, on Monday the 8 th July 2013, accompanied by the Palestinian Botanist Banan Al Sheikh, my wife Ola Mostafa Khalaf and my daughter Nora Norman Ali Khalaf, I inspected Ain Al Basa Spring عٌن البصة and pools at Wadi Qana وادي قانا , and saw many Doctor Fish (Garra rufa Heckel, 1843) swimming in the spring and pool waters. These fish were observed, examined, measured and photographed. After examining Garra rufa at Ain Al Basa Spring, Wadi Qana Nature Reserve, I began comparing between the different Middle Eastern Doctor Fish subspecies. There are six Garra rufa freshwater subspecies living in the Middle East: The Doctor Fish subspecies Garra rufa rufa Heckel, 1843, from southern Turkey, northern Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Oman; and Garra rufa obtusa Heckel, 1843, from northern Syria, northern Iraq and the hot springs at Kangal, Turkey; and Garra rufa turcica Karaman, 1971 from Ceyhan River Basin, Turkey; and the Persian Doctor Fish subspecies Garra rufa persica Berg, 1914 from Iran; and Garra rufa gymnothorax Berg, 1949 from Karun River Basin, Iran; and Garra rufa crenulata Heckel, 1847 from the Qarah Aqaj River and Saadi, Iran. Description and Distinctive Features: Morphology (Key Characters) Garra rufa wadiqana has a laterally elongated body shape. Two pairs of barbels are present. The adhesive disc is well developed with a free anterior margin. Abundant mucous cells in the epidermis of the disc gives an oily appearance, and with the dorso-ventrally compressed snout, offers minimal resistance to 94
