The Clinterocera jucunda species group

Body comparatively large, usually longer than 17 mm; body color red (orange) and black, or totally black; dorsal surface matt, usually with yellow or beige tomentum on lateral portion of elytra, pronotum, and/or head; elytra flat, with numerous setiferous punctures; terminal spiracle distinctly protruding; pygidium surface heavily punctate; tarsi usually comparatively thick; apical tooth of inferior ridge of protibia large in male, small in female.

Some species of this group are similar, and therefore difficult to identify. Most species distributed in mainland China and have been reported from Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan ( Ma 1992, 1995, 2002a, 2002b; Li 2005; Krajčik 2011, 2012a; Li et al. 2013), and also occur in adjacent Indo-China region, Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan Island ( Arrow 1910; Niijima & Kinoshita 1927; Paulian 1961; Sakai & Ikeda 1996; Sakai & Nagai 1998; Yu et al. 1998; Sakai & Fujioka 2007; Sakai 2008; Ek-Amnuay 2008).
