Tetrachela raiblana is an extinct species of polychelid crustacean from the Late Triassic. It is the only species in the family Tetrachelidae.[1] It is distinguished from most other polychelids, including all the extant Polychelidae, by the retention of the diaeresis (divisions) of the uropodal exopods.[2]
