Type: Lectotype ñ RMNH D 42190, and paralectotypes in RMNH (designated by Holthuis 1987; see also Yamaguchi and Baba 1993, Fransen et al. 1997).

Type locality: Japan, locality unspecified.

Distribution: Eastern Indian Ocean to Central Pacific: Australia, Indonesia, South China Sea, Taiwan and Japan, to Hawaii ( Griffin and Tranter 1986; Ng et al. 2001; Yang et al. 2008; Castro 2011).

Habitat: Subtidal; rocky or weedy beaches, sometimes pebbly bottoms, not more than 50 m deep ( Dai and Yang 1991).

Remarks: Individuals of this species resemble foliage of the seaweed Halimeda sp. ( Borradaile 1903) and display extreme variation in the carapace shape ( Sakai 1976; as H. proteus ). Holthuis (1987) showed the name of the species, H. heraldica (De Haan, 1837) has priority over H. proteus (De Haan, 1839) .
