Type species.

Chlamys foveolata Knoch, 1801, by subsequent designation of Navajas 1946: 244 [preoccupied by Chlamys Röding, 1798, Mollusca].

Diagnosis.

This genus can be separated from Exema Lacordaire by the following characters: males without spines or spinulae on ventrite I; antennomere V nearly as large as VI; sutural serration of elytra usually incomplete (suture entire immediately following mesoscutellum); intercoxal prosternal process posteriorly pointed (narrowed), posteriorly much narrower than anterior margin ( Chamorro-Lacayo and Konstantinov 2009). Intermediate size (3-8 mm length). Body usually not metallic in color; elytra without velvety spots. Antenna serrate beyond antennomeres III or IV, antennomere II slightly widened, globose, antennomere V nearly as large as 6th. Pronotum medially elevated, with various bumps and short carinae; posterior pronotal lobe with well-differentiated notch; metascutellum not exposed.

Distribution.

Cosmopolitan, with over 400 species described worldwide ( Monrós 1951c; Reid 1991).
