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.
