Type

Description and differential diagnosis.
The genus
Tetradinodula
was proposed by
Zha
et al.
, 2017
for
Tetradinodula bambusae
Zha,2017
from
Guizhou Province
,
China
(
Zha
et al
., 2017
). This genus can be easily distinguished from other genera of the subfamily
Cladonotinae
by pronotum between posterior sulcus and humeral angles forming a four-nodule-like elevation (
Zha
et al
., 2017
). However, I examined the specimens carefully and found that width of longitudinal furrow of frontal ridge equal to or slightly wider than antennal groove, and without the typical characteristics of the subfamily
Cladonotinae
for
Tetradinodula bambusae
. Therefore, the classification status of
Tetradinodula
needs to be further studied.
Composition and distribution.
This genus consists of a
type
species only found in
China
