Type species: Clepitoides anae sp. nov., here designated.

Description: Generally more translucent than semi-opaque. Antennomeres (6)7-10 lobate at one side of apex (subserrate), with VII-XI forming loose club. Prothorax more elongate (ca. 1.5 times longer than wide), pronotum with alveolate punctures; sides almost glabrous, orange-yellow with candelabrum at midline. Mesosternal declivity inclined. Elytra markedly dehiscent; without short, semi-recumbent pubescence; with humero-apical costa from middle to apex (best seen with the light coming from the side). Metasternum uniformly hirsute with sparse, shorter hairs. Urosternite V of males characteristic (viewed laterally): sides foliate (expanded dorsally and ventrally, and slightly prolonged into “wings”), these demarcating a deep, horseshoe-shaped depression occupying most of ventral surface. Outer apex of protibiae usually slightly excised, not expanded laterally or toothed. Colour dimorphism almost absent; both sexes with dusky fascia between superior lobes; prothorax orange-yellow, pronotum with blackish candelabrum.

Species included in this genus: C. anae sp. nov., C. gerardi sp. nov. and C. neei sp. nov.

Etymology: Clepitoides is an anagram of Ecliptoides .
