Tetralia heterodactyla Heller, 1861: 14. Tetralia pubescens Klunzinger, 1913: 316, pl. 7, fig. 15. Tetralia nigrifronsforma fusca Serène & Dat, 1957: 290. Tetralia nigrifronsforma cyanea Serène & Dat, 1957: 116.
Remarks. Tetralia nigrifronsforma cyanea Serène & Dat, 1957( typelocality 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 typematerial (a female lectotypeand a female paralectotype, NMV 11a) is in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna.
