We present ultraviolet (UV) properties of early-type dwarf galaxies (dwarf ellipticals, nucleated dwarf ellipticals, and dwarf lenticulars ) in Virgo cluster. We used the GALEX GR3 data in near-ultraviolet (NUV) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) passbands combined with spectro-photometric data available at other wavelengths. We found the dwarf lenticulars and peculiar dwarf ellipticals (dEs with blue center and disk) show distinct locus from that of ordinary dwarf ellipticals in color-magnitude relation. This indicates the UV properties of dwarf lenticulars and peculiar dwarf ellipticals are different to those of ordinary dwarf ellipticals, suggesting a different formation and evolution. We also discuss a hint of environmental effects for the UV properties of dwarf elliptical galaxies.
