03814B6EFFB7FFF6621A8BCEFCD00EE3.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Cladobradus atritarsis Pic, 1918: 3, by monotypy. Lectotype female (here designated) in MNHN.	en	Ivie, Michael A., Pollock, Darren A. (2012): The Familial Placement ofCladobradusPic (Coleoptera: Ptilodactylidae, Dascillidae, Mycteridae). The Coleopterists Bulletin 66 (1): 7-13, DOI: 10.1649/072.066.0102, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/072.066.0102
03814B6EFFB7FFF6621A8BCEFCD00EE3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The unique habitus (Figs. 1, 2) will immediately distinguish this species from all other known Mycteridae. The grooves on the face (Fig. 5), dark hind wing (Fig. 12), posteriorly broad, laterally upturned, and medially grooved pronotum (Figs. 8, 9), and corrugated elytra (Fig. 1) will confirm the identity of this genus and species.	en	Ivie, Michael A., Pollock, Darren A.

03814B6EFFB7FFF6621A8BCEFCD00EE3.taxon	description	Description. Body (Figs. 1, 2) yellow-orange except for eye, antennae, tarsomeres (except last), and hind wing infuscate to piceous; most of body covered with moderately dense, suberect, golden setae that do not obscure surface. Shape elongate, slightly broader apically; [distortion of the specimen makes the following measurements approximate] body estimated at 3.1 X longer than greatest width; total length 12 mm. Head (Figs. 3, 4 5): Relatively short, slightly narrowed behind eyes; epistoma trapezoidal, frontoclypeal suture indicated frontolaterally by deep notch at juncture with anterolateral lobe frons, from which extends deep, arcuate groove; frons with pair of strong arcuate grooves continuous from sides of epistoma to nearly level of posterior margin of eyes; anterior margin of epistoma with unsclerotized strip of cuticle; labrum transverse, anterior margin weakly emarginate, crenulate; antennal insertions not concealed dorsally. Antennae (Fig. 7): Moderate in length, antennomeres 3 – 10 strongly serrate, 11 distinctly narrowed and produced in apical ¼. Eyes (Figs. 3 – 5): Moderate, hemispherical, widely separated; facets moderately fine, with short, fine, erect intrafacetal setae. Mandibles (Figs. 3, 5): Strongly curved; acute; apices bidentate. Maxilla (Fig. 3): Palp elongate, apical palpomere slightly securiform. Labium (Fig. 3): Mentum transverse; ligula transverse, broadened and extended significantly anterad base of palpi; labial palpi short, distal palpomere blunt apically. Gula (Fig. 3): Lyriform, sutures convergent anteriorly, surface indistinctly convex. Prothorax (Figs. 8 – 11): Pronotum broadly campanulate, 1.5 X wider than long (greatest pronotal width / pronotal length 1.55); narrowest at anterior margin, widest just anterad hind angles; lateral margins curved, continuous with anterior margin, ending at right hind angles; without lateral carina; disc upturned laterally in basal half, with large transverse depression on each side, medially with longitudinal narrow, glabrous groove; posterior pits present, openings incised, foveate, joined transversely by narrow, bisinuate groove; subrugosely punctate; prosternal process lamellate between procoxae, extending slightly behind procoxae, ending in a knob; coxal cavities open externally, closed internally; protrochantin hidden. Mesothorax (Fig. 10): Mesoventrite triangular, lateral margins straight; mesepisterna narrowly separated anteriorly, mesocoxal cavities closed, with hidden trochantins; mesoventral process elongate, slender, touching short metaventral process. Metaventrite (Figs. 2, 14): Convex, with distinct, nearly complete discrimen which ends at level of posterior edge of mesocoxae. Metendosternite: Unstudied. Elytra: Elongate, 1.9 X longer than greatest combined width (condition of the specimen makes this figure approximate), moderately convex; surface with 3 longitudinally rounded ridges, rendering the surface corrugated; setae arranged in a herringbone pattern, directed 45 ° off posterior from bottom of grooves onto ridges from each side; epipleuron distinct, visible to near end of ventrite 4. Legs: Slen- der, all similar in size and shape; femora broad, tibiae relatively straight and slender; tibial spurs similar in size and shape, short, not extending beyond setal fringe; tarsal formula 5 - 5 - 4, pro- and mesotarsomeres 1 - 4 of decreasing length and increasing width, 3 and 4 short dorsally but 4 strongly lobed ventrally; tarsomere 5 elongate, distally widened slightly; metatarsus similar, but in this case only 3 is short and lobed; tarsal claws with strong quadrate tooth reaching halfway to acute apex. Abdomen: First 3 ventrites connate. Genitalia: Unstudied. Geographical Distribution. Known only from a single specimen, labeled Bogota, taken to be Bogotá, Colombia.	en	Ivie, Michael A., Pollock, Darren A.
