and notes on the synonymy of some other Xylotrechus species
(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae)

Abstract - A new species of Xylotrechus Chevrolat (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Clytini) is described from Malaysia. Brief comments concerning the synonymy of other Xylotrechus taxa are also provided. It appears that X. brevicornis Pascoe is a synonym of X. buqueti Laporte & Gory, while Clytus sappho Pascoe, X. lyratus Pascoe and X. quadripes Chevrolat are synonyms of X. javanicus (Laporte & Gory). The two species Xylotrechus scenicus Pascoe and X. decoratus Pascoe are transferred to the genus Chlorophorus Chevrolat.
