This species was described from Brest, Brittany, France. It has been reported from the NE Atlantic from Norway, Great Britain and Ireland from Shetland south to Cornwall and from Northern France, Portugal and Spain to Greece in the Mediterranean Sea. [3] Reports from Japan and Australia are likely to be cryptic species. [4]
The maximum recorded body length is 12 mm. [5]

The specific epithet quadrilineata means four-lined and refers to the four longitudinal black lines present on the original specimen. This species is sometimes called the fourline nudibranch. In 2020 a integrative molecular and morphological study showed that P. quadrilineata was a complex of two species in the NE Atlantic and one of these species was given the new name Polycera norvegica.
