Material examined. Nansha Islands: Mischief Reef, 115°32.5’E 9°55.7’N, 11 m, coll. Shaobo Ma, Yuli Sun, Ziming Yuan, 5 May 2022, 1 male (8.39 × 7.64 mm), NS-MJJ-2022-1027; 1 female (8.56 × 7.68 mm), NS-MJJ-2022-1028, in Acropora gemmifera (Acroporidae). Fiery Cross Reef, 113°0.8’E 9°39.9’N, 10 m, coll. Shaobo Ma, Yuli Sun, Ziming Yuan, 14 May 2022, 1 male (8.14 × 7.73 mm), 1 female (8.77 × 7.91 mm), NS-YS-2022-1284, in partially dead Acropora sp.

Geographical distribution. Across Indo-West Pacific region. Known from Johnston Atoll, not from the Hawaiian Is (Castro 2011).
Remarks. Tetraloides heterodactylus is not very common in the South China Sea. The elliptical patches on the upper surface of the walking legs can be either bright blue (Fig. 6D, NS-MJJ-2022-1027) or inconspicuous grayish blue.
