Distribution: Vietnam, South China (including Hainan), Taiwan, Japan (including Ryukyus) and Korea.

Remarks: Tubuca arcuata is common and widely distributed in the East Asia ( Crane 1975; Dai et al. 1986; Dai and Yang 1991; Kosuge et al. 1997; Shih et al. 2010b 2015 2016a), range of which conforming to continental group of fiddler crabs ( Shih 2012a). Interestingly, T. arcuata and T. forcipata have been shown to be sister species based on genetic evidence ( Shih et al. 2016b), and show allopatric distributions in northern and southern Vietnam, respectively (see DISCUSSION below).
