Namaphilus Deschodt & Davis 2017, Namaphilusgen. nov.
No full textNamaphilusgen. nov., Figs 1–2 TYPE SPECIES. Namakwanus endroedyi Deschodt, Davis & Scholtz, 2011, here designated. Gender of new name: masculine. DESCRIPTION. Small (7.1–9.7 mm long × 4.5–5.8 mm wide) dark brown, rounded and convex beetles. Head: with two small and short, slightly upturned clypeal teeth; one much smaller tooth medially on lower margin of clypeus. Pronotum: dark brown, convex with ovoid to round punctures. Protibia: tridentate in last one-third of outside margin, more or less smooth in first two-thirds. Elytra: strongly convex, dark brown. Sterna: mesometasternal suture straight. Scutellum not visible. Pygidium: shagreened with small punctures. DISCUSSION. Morphologically this new genus can easily be separated from Versicorpus by lacking serrations on the outside margins of the front tibiae and by being smaller (7.1–9.7 mm long) and more convex than the larger (10.1 mm) and more elongate Versicorpus. The clypeus of Namakwanus has much more pronounced clypeal teeth than Namaphilus. The known species in the genus thus currently comprise Namaphilus davisi (Deschodt & Scholtz, 2007) comb. nov., Namaphilus endroedyi (Deschodt, Davis & Scholtz, 2011) comb. nov. and Namaphilus ameibensis spec. nov.Published as part of Deschodt, Christian M. & Davis, Adrian L.
