Type species

Clytus (Ochroesthes) circuliferus Chevrolat, 1860 (= Clytus sommeri Chevrolat, 1835). Subsequent designation, Thomson 1861: 219).

Diagnosis

Ochraethes is characterized as follows: frons transverse; vertex wider than long; genae short or elongate, broad; upper interocular space slightly wider than lower interocular space; vertex transversely rectangular; subsutural costa (subparallel to suture) beginning from anterior third; elytral apex rounded, truncate or emarginate; prosternal process narrow or broad, arcuate, often with rounded lobes apically; mesoventrite with anterior portion from elevate to strongly elevate; and mesoventral process abruptly depressed. This genus exhibits pubescence patterns on the elytra that are useful for species identification. However, in most species the general coloration of the pubescence on body has a wide range from bright to dark (including the pubescence patterns on the elytra).
