Posted - 14/10/2021 : 01:02:57 I recently purchased a specimen which I thought was going to be Clytosaurus priapus Thomson; and of course when it arrived it was a beautiful specimen of C. siamensis from Vietnam.
However, in examining my material I found a few specimens from Cameron Highlands, Malaysia which are very different from typical C. siamensis;
Only two pronotal crescents, legs all black; antennae all black, transverse carina on the pronotum very short.
They are clearly different. Same genus? (left specimen from Malaysia (ID'd as Clytosaurus siamensis by a recognized expert), right specimen from Vietnam).
I'd appreciate your valued opinion.
Thanks
Larry B.

With black legs and 2 bands on pronotum, your left specimen fits well with Clytosaurus priapus Thomson, 1864. Here 2 specimens from the forum galery. |
