Genus Chlaenius Bonelli 1810

Jeannel (1949) treated Chlaenites Motschulsky (1860) as a distinct genus, although it is now considered a subgenus of Chlaenius ( Lorenz 2005) and includes only two species, both from the Palaearctic Region. Both of the new species described below key to Chlaenites in Jeannel’s (1949) key to chlaeniine genera, but neither is a member of that subgenus as presently conceived.
