Thanks!
Thanks for correcting me. What are the best ways to tell Clytus, Neoclytus, and Xylotrechus apart?

well ...
probably tough to do from photos of live material - I'm guessing it would be easier to recognize the sp.

Aai yi yi!
That looks even better - thanks Phillip! The elytral pattern shown in the link you gave is identical to my specimen. Image moved from Xylotrechus page to new species page.
