SUMMARY
Shatalkin & Merz, 2010:
COMMENTS: With its two (pairs of) scutellar setae this species is unique within Chamaepsila. For this reason Frey (1925) proposed the genus Tetrapsila for it with the remark that this genus may be only a subgenus of Chamaepsila. The two genera were indeed synonymized later (Shatalkin, 1986; Iwasa, 1998).
