Russian entomologist Philip Adamovich Zaitsev, due to the political motives of the Soviet
totalitarian regime. Dmytro Zajciw managed to escape to Brazil from the mass repressions
and executions of Ukrainian scientists on ethnic grounds that took place in the USSR. Until
1991 (the year of collapse of the USSR), his works were banned from distribution and
confiscated from libraries by the Soviet totalitarian regime. Today, a copy of Dmitro Zajciw's
original article on Teratoclytus is kept at the I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NASU
in Kyiv, Ukraine. Unfortunately, the original article, in addition to being written in Ukrainian,
is physically inaccessible to experts in Cerambycidae outside of Ukraine. Therefore, there is
still false information in the scientific literature about the authorship of the first description
of Teratoclytus. I hope that with this work I will correct the unjust oblivion to which a famous
entomologist was subjected during the Soviet occupation.

Clytina Reitter, 1912: 46 [60]
Type genus: Clytus Laicharting, 1784: 88 [35]
Description: body elongated, subcylindrical. Head short, typically with longitudinal
carinae or sulcus on the forehead. Forehead wide. Antennae short, widely spaced on the
forehead, reaching the first third of the wings. Pronotum subspherical, oblong. Elytra
elongated, apically truncated, with a hair pattern of spots and transverse stripes. Legs
elongated. Femora gradually thickened posteriorly. Metepimera twice longer than wider,
extend over hind angles of the 1st ventrite.
Diagnosis: Forehead wide; antennae widely spaced on the forehead; metepimera
twice longer than wider.
