Phrator variegatum seurati Alluaud, 1935

Description: ~ 7.6 mm; width: ~ 3.8 mm. The elytral pattern has well-marked basic and middle segments that reach up to the interval 13 without interruption. The top segment has remained only in the form of separate elongate spots. The pattern on elytra as in Fig. 3.7.

Comparisons: similar to P. variegatum sardoum Reitt., but it will be readily distinguished by its different elytral pattern. The transversal brown spot on the pronotum is less distinct if compared to P. variegatum boiteli Alluaud. The clypeus is less convex in its base part.
