Comments.
All species of the subgenus
Ovoclytra
Medvedev, 1961
(except
C
.
(
O
.)
deþciens
from
Cyprus
) badly need a comprehensive revision based on examination of the primary
type
material. Until that we leave
C. nigrocincta
ssp.
bagdatensis
as a valid subspecies.
In several specimens from Pic
̓
s collection we are not sure whether they belong to the type series or not as they have incomplete label data or are without any labels altogether. However, we treat them as possible
syntypes
.
