Tetraloides heterodactyla (Heller, 1861)

Tetralia heterodactyla Heller, 1861: 14 .

Tetralia pubescens Klunzinger, 1913: 316, pl. 7, fig. 15. Tetralia nigrifrons forma fusca Serène & Dat, 1957: 290 . Tetralia nigrifrons forma cyanea Serène & Dat, 1957: 116.

Remarks. Tetralia nigrifrons forma cyanea Serène & Dat, 1957 (type locality Vietnam), is almost certainly identical with Tetraloides heterodactyla Heller, 1861 . Serène & Dat (1957) described the taxon as having bright blue spots on the ambulatory legs ("... le vif de ses taches bleues sur les péreiopodes)", a diagnostic characterisation of live or freshly preserved specimens (Castro 1997b: 46). The type material (a female lectotype and a female paralectotype, NMV 11a) is in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna.
