Mayotte data
Tetralia ?nigrolineata Serène & Pham, 1957
Material examined — Mayotte KUW 2009 (det. P. Castro, with hesitation), st. 12a, 1 F 4.9 x 5.8 mm, (pre-det. J. Poupin as Tetraloides heterodactyla), photo, MNHN B32240, MNHN-IU-2009-1058; st. 14, 1 M 3.5 x 4.3 mm, MNHN B32241, MNHN-IU-2009-1059.
Remarks — The color pattern of T. nigrolineata typical is illustrated, for a male and female, in Castro (1997a: 101, pl. 1D) showing black lines on frontal and lateral margin of carapace. These lines are indistinct in Mayotte female photographed at st. 12, perhaps because of its juvenile condition?
Geographic and depth ranges — Mozambique, ?Mayotte (this work) to Japan, New Caledonia; subtidal to 66 m.

Central Pacific data (Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton, Easter Island)
Tetralia nigrolineata - Moorea Biocode project first record for FP. Indicated first erroneously as Tetralia ocucyanea which is not a valid taxon. Doubtful, probably Tetralia ocucaerulea (see photo 2 under T. ocucaerulea UF10298, G. Paulay)
