Cletus bipunctatus (Westwood)

Coreus bipunctatus Westwood, 1842: 23 .

According to the original description, this species is recognized by the body being yellow with black punctures, each humeral angle tapering into a large acute spine, antennal segment IV black, the apical edge of corium with a whitish discoidal spot, and the venter yellowish with rows of black punctures.

Its occurrence outside of the Indian subcontinent must be confirmed. Therefore for the moment I assume that the Australian records of C. bipunctatus (Westwood 1842) actually belong to C. saucius Stål (!873).
