• Scrutiny:
  • Dolling, 2010, Cletus modestus was mentioned in comparison with other species by Stål, 1859 but not formally described; its next mention was in synonymy by Stål, 1866a. Records of Cletus ochraceus not assigned to subspecies have all been cited under the nominate subspecies and those for Sierra Leone (ST of immaculatus Westwood, 1842) and Ghana (Reuter, 1883) are probably referable to fuscescens.
• See species ochraceus for additional information.
