E43787D023631453FF2FF59F93A4015D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Specimens of this species resemble superficially those of Diutius gallerucoides (Spinola, 1844: 372), but in Diutius sexpunctatus (Kirsch) specimens the elytral disc shows 6 maculae (Fig. 5) not 8 (Fig. 6) as is the case in its congener.	en	Opitz, Weston (2016): Classification, natural history, and evolution of the subfamily Peloniinae Opitz (Coleoptera: Cleroidea: Cleridae).
