Abstract

The new genus and species of edaphic Entiminae Caldarinus gwarrie gen. n., sp. n., is described from South Africa: Western Cape province. Its tribal placement in the subfamily is discussed and the most important taxonomic characters are illustrated. The genus Rhysoderes Marshall, 1955 (Entiminae: oosomini) is proposed as a new junior synonym of Cladeyterus Schoenherr, 1842 and Rhysoderes atrobruneus Marshall, 1958 is proposed as a new junior synonym of Cladeyterus lepidopterus Boheman, 1842. The remaining nine Rhysoderes species are transferred to the genus Cladeyterus.
