Phrator variegatum sardoum Reitter, 1907

Description: Elytral pattern has marked green gloss, it is formed from three bands. The surface of the body and legs are brown. The three-piece spot on pronotum has clear borders and angles with marked sides. The green spot on the vertex has two parts, the both parts almost converge opposite to the centre line of pronotum at the base of the head. Clypeus has markedly convex base.

Distribution: The sub-species is known only from the isle of Sardinia.
