2 Pronotum black....................................................................................... 3

- Pronotum fulvous or yellow with black markings........................................................... 6

3 Elytra yellow, only with black apical margins, without humeral spot...................... C. (s. str.) reductoapicalis Pic

5 Each elytron with a small humeral spot and a sub-rectangular band at apical two fifths ( Fig. 12 F), in China only occurring in Xinjiang................................................................... C. (s. str.) laeviuscula Ratzeburg

- Patterns on the elytra variable: each elytron with a humeral spot and a reduced band at apical two-fifths ( Fig. 13 A), which sometimes divided into two spots; each elytron with a single humeral spot ( Fig. 13 C); sometimes each elytron with a large oblong humeral spot and a sub-square band at apical two-fifths ( Fig. 13 B); occurring in the north of China.................................................................................................. C. (s. str.) arida Weise

6 Pronotum with a fused black marking..................................................................... 7

- Pronotum with more than one black marking............................................................... 8

- Each elytron with a humeral spot, a spot at basal one-third near elytral suture, and a band at apical one-third ( Fig. 12 D), occur- ring in Xinjiang..................................................... C. (Clytraria) atraphaxidis punctata Weise

8 Pronotum with two black spots.......................................................... C. (s. str.) guerryi Pic

- Pronotum with more than two black spots................................................................. 9

- Pronotum with three black markings..................................................................... 11

10 Frons without marking, ventral side of median lobe with a high ridge ( Fig. 5 F)......... C. (Clytraria) yunnana Medvedev

- Frons with a red marking, ventral side of median lobe not highly convex ( Fig. 10 F).......... C. (s. str.) rubrimaculata Tan

11 Body parallel-sided, pronotum with a sub-rhombic marking medially and a pair of small lateral spots ( Fig. 12 I).............................................................................................. C. (s. str.) tsinensis Pic

- Body sub-cylindrical, pronotum with an oblong marking medially and two small spots, one on each side.............. 12

12 Last tarsomere longer than 2nd and 3rd together, apex of median lobe truncated ( Figs. 2 D–F)...................................................................................................... C. (Clytraria) truncatula sp. nov.
