Treatment

Clytra (Clytra) duodecimmaculata duodecimmaculata ( Fabricius, 1775)

Cryptocephalus duodecimmaculata Fabricius, 1775: 106 (original description).

Clytra bicoloriceps Pic, 1933a: 3 (original description), syn. nov.

Type localities. Cryptocephalus duodecimmaculatus : ‘Capite bonae spei’ [= South Africa, Cape of Good Hope; patria falsa]. Clytra bicoloriceps : ‘Arabie’ [patria falsa].

Type material examined. Cryptocephalus duodecimmaculata : not examined.

Clytra bicoloriceps : SYNTYPE: 1 ♂, ‘488 [w, h] // Arabie [w, h] // … / pres 12 maculata / tete bicolore [partly illegible, w, h] // type [w, h] // TYPE [r, p] // bicoloriceps sp n [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic).

Distribution. South China ( GRESSITT & KIMOTO 1961), SE Asia ( KIMOTO & GRESSITT 1981), Sumatra, Java ( LACORDAIRE 1848).

Comments. Already PIC (1933a) doubted the type locality ‘Arabie’ of C. bicoloriceps . REGA- LIN & MEDVEDEV (2010b) listed this species as a doubtful synonym of C. duodecimmaculata . After examination of the relevant type material we deħnitely propose C. bicoloriceps to be a synonym of the Oriental C. duodecimmaculata .

Clytra bicoloriceps Pic, 1933 is also a primary junior homonym of C. bicoloriceps Pic, 1921 described from Khartoum, Sudan.
