Metaeuchromius was established with Eromene yuennanensis Caradja, 1937 as the type species (Bleszynski 1960). The genus has fourteen species with a Palearctic and Oriental distribution (Bleszynski 1965; Park 1990; Schouten 1997; Nuss and Speidel 1999; Chen et al. 2002; Sasaki 2005; Li et al. 2009; Nuss et al. 2014). Prior to this study, eight species of Metaeuchromius were recorded in China (Li et al. 2009). However, the known species are rarely recorded around the monsoon temperate glaciers of the south-eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in China. Moreover, it is becoming more and more critical to pay close attention to the species living around mountain glaciers because global warming is highly likely to cause changes in the biodiversity of these regions (Li and Liu 2014). In the present paper, Metaeuchromius glacialis, collected from Galongla Mountain, Tibetan glacier area, is described as new to science.
