|discussion=<p><i>Tetraplodon pallidus</i> and <i>T. paradoxus</i> often grow intermixed and can be distinguished by several characters (W. C. Steere 1977b). <i>Tetraplodon pallidus</i> has a large operculum that falls off exposing a broad, square-shaped mouth and well-developed, reflexed teeth, and its distal laminal cell walls are thin.</p>
