Eutetrapha virides Pu & Jin, 1991: 191 , 196, pl. IIIB: 2. Type locality: China, Sichuan, Qingchuan, Tangjiahe . Type depository: IZAS.

Eutetrapha virides ; Hua et al., 2009: 455; Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 324; Lin, 2015: 280, fig. 217697.

Diagnosis. According to Pu & Jin (1991), this species is “related to E. chrysochloris Bates , but easily distinguished by the frons sparsely punctuate, posterior margin of pronotum straight, not sinuate, scutellum tongue-shaped; the second macula of elytra obliquely elongate, contact with humeral carina”. In fact, the male claws allow these two species to be separated into two genera.

Remarks. Eutetrapha virides Pu & Jin, 1991 is transferred to the genus Paraglenea Bates, 1866 , due to the appendiculate claws in males ( Fig. 144 ). Though we did not examine any females, the claws of females should be simple. This species is quite similar to Paraglenea fortunei (Saunders, 1853) and P. cinereonigra Pesarini & Sabbadini, 1996 due to the color pattern, but with metallic scales and with different black markings.

Distribution. China: Sichuan.

Type specimen examined. Holotype ( Figs. 135 a & c), male, Sichuan, Qingchuan, Tangjiahe, 1980. VII.30, leg. Ming-Li Lan ( IZAS, IOZ (E) 217697).
