Clavipalpus Laporte, 1832

Ootoma Dejean, 1833: 163, nomen nudum.

Type species

Clavipalpus dejeani Laporte, 1832 (designation: monotypy).

Diagnosis

Clypeal ventral area slightly enlarged (Fig. 6 A–B); maxillary palpomere IV enlarged (Fig. 6 A–B); pronotal anterior and posterior margins not beaded; prosternum anteriorly concave (similar to Fig. 12 K); protibia with three external teeth and without spur; elytral striae indistinct, posterior margin not beaded, posterointernal margin beaded; metatarsomere V without internoproximal spine-like setae; abdomen with intersegmental membrane VII–VIII concealed.

Remarks

The present study revalidates Paulosawaya, formerly a synonym of Clavipalpus . Consequently 17 species are transferred to Paulosawaya, and Clavipalpus now comprises four species: C. dejeani, C. hirticollis Frey, 1969, C. orbignyanus Blanchard, 1850 and C. tenuis Arrow, 1903 .
