Description.
Male: length: 13.2–14.0 mm, humeral width:
4.2–4.4 mm
. Female: length: 13.8–16.0 mm, humeral width:
4.7–5.3 mm
. Details refer to
Chou
et al.
(2010)
.
Diagnosis.
This species differs from
Paraglenea
spp. by male with only anterior claws of pro- and mesotarsi appendiculate, remainders all simple (all male claws in
Paraglenea
appendiculate). It is similar to
Eutetrapha chrysochloris
(
Bates, 1879
)
, but can be distinguished by metallic blue to purple blue scales, larger and sparser elytral punctures, almost rounded black arc on apical half of elytra, hardly visible elytral apical tooth at the outer angle, etc., and on genitalia distinguished by stouter lateral lobes of tegmen, nearly rounded apex of ventral plate etc.
Remarks.
Eutetrapha lini
is a nocturnal species, being attracted by light trap. We believe it is probably monophagous (
Chou
et al.
2010
).
