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
