Subgenus Clivina Latreille, 1802

Clivina Latreille, 1802: 96. Type species: Scarites arenarius Fabricius, 1775 (= Tenebrio fossor Linnaeus, 1758) by monotypy.

Diversity.

Worldwide, with over 250 species described. The number of species cannot be assessed at this time since many species included by Lorenz (2005: 141-145) in this subgenus belong to Semiclivina , Reichardtula , and Leucocara . The Nearctic Region has only ten described species and two of them are adventive.

Identification.

Bousquet (1997c: 347-348) published a key to all North American species and two unnamed ones. One species ( Clivina choatei ) was described subsequently.
