Eutetrapha lini Chou, Chung & Lin, 2010: 313 , figs. 1–16. Type locality: China, Taiwan, Taitung County, Soca. Type depository: NMNST.

Eutetrapha lini ; Lin, 2015: 276, figs. 1859432–434.

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).

Distribution. China: Taiwan.
