This insect might easily be mistaken for AEtliiodactyla lateralis, 
Lacord., with which it agrees in size and somewhat in coloration ; 
but it is, no doubt, a true Clytra, on account of the short legs and 
tarsi : other differences are to be found in the short thorax, the 
punctured vertex of the head and base of the thorax, and in the 
black apical margins of the elytra.
