Eutetrapha flavoguttata Pu & Jin, 1991: 190 , 196, pl. IIIB: 1. Type locality: China, Xizang, Mêdog . Type depository: SHEM. Eutetrapha flavoguttata ; Hua et al., 2009: 455; Löbl & Smetana , 2010: 323.

Supplementary description. Females (n = 5): length 21.0–25.0 mm, width 6.5–8.0 mm. Claws simple. Female genitalia: Setae of sternite VIII dense and long. Spiculum ventrale ( Fig. 133 ) slightly shorter than abdomen (103 to 110 and 90 to 97 we observed). Spermathecal capsule ( Fig. 134 ) strongly sclerotized, composed of an apical orb and a long basal stalk, with length of basal stalk more than three times of diameter of apical orb.

Diagnosis. This species can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the rugose pronotum ( Figs. 156 g– 1 & 156g –2), green body (not green pubescence or scales) and red-brown legs.

It resembles Glenea viridescens Pic, 1927 by the rugose pronotum and green body, but can be distinguished by the slightly truncate or nearly round elytral apex (without distinct teeth), red-brown legs (not blue-green legs), and four pubescent spots on elytron.

Remarks. Males are unknown but we predict that the male claws should be similar to Glenea viridescens Pic, 1927 ; that is: the anterior claw of the pro- and mesotarsi is toothed at the base, others simple ( Viktora & Lin 2012). If this is confirmed, then it is reasonable to keep this species in the genus Eutetrapha . However, we do not transfer Glenea viridescens Pic, 1927 to Eutetrapha because of its distinctly emarginate elytral apex, and we believe it is reasonable to keep this species in the large genus Glenea . The morphology of male claws in the genus Glenea is diverse ( Gahan 1897).

This species is recorded from Myanmar for the first time.

Distribution. China: Xizang; Myanmar (new country record): Mt. Shan Guang.
