Abstract
A new subgenus Clypeostetha subgen. n. is erected for the jewel beetle Sphenoptera epistomalis Obenberger, 1927 from North-Western and Western Kazakhs tan and northwestern Uzbekistan ( rst country record). Principal diagnostic characters of the new subgenus and illustrated re-description of S. epistomalis together with data on its distribution and host plant are presented. The main diagnostic character of Clypeostetha is the absence of the clypeal suture separating clypeus from frons in all other known Sphenopterini.
