Cladistic analysis of species of Natalis Laporte (1836) and related genera Eunatalis Schenkling (1909), Metademius Schenkling (1899) and Eurymetomorphon Pic (1950) (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) with redescription of a restored Clerinae genus Author A, Jaime Solervicens text Zootaxa 2007 1398 1 14 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.175376 08504e22-8ca0-4112-a2e1-a7cc15d6e347 1175­5326 175376 Natalis Laporte (1836) Type species: Natalis laplacei Laporte (1836) Diagnosis : According to the current analysis, the genus Natalis is composed of only two species, N. laplacei from Chile and N. wagneri from Argentina . The synapomorphies that characterize this taxon are the special modification of the male tegmen mentioned above and the dark brown with a yellowish transverse band of elytra. N. wagneri is particularly apomorphic because of the shortening of the tegmen ( Fig. 6 ), reversal of the weakly sclerotized zones laterally behind the base of the parameres and in the parameral apices ( Figs. 5 and 6 ), the bending of the apodeme ( Fig. 6 ), the dorsal division of the tegmen, the complex sclerotization of the median lobe of the aedeagus ( Fig. 12 ), and the shortening of the bursa copulatrix ( Fig. 15 ). Natalis laplacei is distinguished by a pronounced frontal pit. Descriptions of these species were made by Solervicens (1973) .
