bi-emarginate each side, but less deeply so than in dentipes; 
front with longitudinal and transverse lines as in dentipes, 
with small median puncture, otherwise impunctate; an- 
tennae not reaching to basal angles of prothorax. Pro- 
thorax by measurement very slightly wider than long; 
moderately convex; posterior margin basal; posterior an- 
gles not conspicuous; disk not punctate, with usual im- 
pressed lines and also with fine, irregular, well separated 
transverse lines. Elytra not margined at base, rather 
deeply striate, striae moderately punctate; eighth stria not 
continued above humerus; third stria five-punctate. Front 
femur with small, rounded-obtuse tooth on lower posterior 
edge near apex; front tibia tridentate externally above 
terminal digit, finely bicanaliculate on anterior face near 
apex, inconspicuously toothed near middle of posterior face ; 
front trochanters not angulately prominent; middle tibia 
spurred externally near apex ; paronychium short or absent 
in unique type, but probably long in fresh specimens. Lower 
surface without unusual punctuation ; last ventral with inner 
pair of punctures twice as far apart as distance between 
them and outer punctures. Length 8 mm. 
Holotype (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19489) 
from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, F. Mara, sent by S. T. Dan- 
forth; unique. 
In Putzeys’ revision of Clivina (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique 
10, 1866) this species would belong in group 24 (dentipes 
etc.), but it will not fit in any of the six sections of that 
group. It is excluded from the first four sections either 
by absence of a basal elytral margin or by the small obtuse 
femoral tooth; from the fifth, by the impunctate abdomen 
and only slightly and broadly emarginate epistoma; and 
from the sixth, by the short antennae. It is at once separ- 
able from dentipes, which it somewhat resembles, by the 
reduced femoral tooth.

Slender, parallel, slightly depressed; piceous black, ap- 
pendages and parts of lower surface rufescent. Head with
