Metriocnemus (Heterotrissocladius) scutellatus Goetghebuer, 1942: 15 View in CoL . Heterotrissocladius grimshawi (Edwards, 1929) : Brundin 1949: 704. Heterotrissocladius scutellatus (Goetghebuer) View in CoL : Saether 1975: 43 –47.

Material examined. Ningxia Autonomous Region, Liupanshan Natural Conversation Area, sweep net, 1 male, 4.viii.1988, X. Wang.

Remarks. The specimen from China has 14 squamal setae and the relatively high palpomere 5th/3rd length ratio 1.19, while the specimens from Europe have 25–48 squamal setae and palpomere 5th/3rd length ratio lower than 1.0 ( Saether 1975). As most of other characters are quite uniform, we believe this is intraspecific variation.

Distribution. This species has been recorded from Austria ( Goetghebuer 1942: 16) and Germany ( Wülker 1958: 810). In China, it was found in Ningxia Autonomous Region (Palaearctic region).
