Material examined. Xisha Islands: The Seven Connected Islets, 112°16.2’E 16°58.0’N, 10 m, coll. Shaobo Ma, Yuli Sun, Ziming Yuan, 19 May 2022, 1 male (3.18 × 2.75 mm), 1 pre-adult (1.74 × 1.57 mm), XS-QL-2022-1013, in Faviidae; 1 male (2.94 × 2.57 mm), XS-QL-2022-1066, in Leptastrea sp. (Faviidae).
Geographical distribution. Across Indo-West Pacific and Tropical Eastern Pacific regions (Castro 2011).
Remarks. The preoccupied Jonesius Sankarankutty, 1962, was replaced by Cherusius (Low & Ng 2012). Cherusius triunguiculatus is rarely reported (Castro 2015), this is the first live colouration of this species from Chinese waters. A male specimen collected from a Leptastrea sp. (Faviidae) colony has a dark brown patch on the lower middle part of the mobile finger of the chelipeds (Fig. 1A, XS-QL-2022-1066). The other two specimens without the dark brown patch were collected from a Faviidae.
