Note. The description of Callistochroma flavofasciata is provided in the recent 2011 publication in Zootaxa 2987:65–68. This species is very distinctive among the described Callistochroma due to its black integument with two, yellow, transverse, fasciae on the elytra. According to Chemsak and Hovore (2011), “ the pronotum of females is broader than the male, and with stronger lateral tubercles but essentially maintains a similar shape. The much smaller size of the male may account for some of the observed differences.” The C. flavofasciata females have antennae that are shorter than the body, and extending to the apical 2/3 of the elytra, which is unlike other Callistochroma females with the antennae usually attaining or longer than the elytra.
