Frankenbergerius Balthasar, 1938 View in CoL
( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 9–11 )
Type species: Frankenbergerius mirabilis Balthasar 1938 View in CoL (synonym of F. armatus (Boheman, 1857)) View in CoL
Frankenbergerius View in CoL species are small to medium-sized (length: 4.5–16 mm), black to dark brown and convex (see description in Frolov & Scholtz 2005). The head and pronotal disc are densely punctate and pubescent although smooth and shiny in F. barratti View in CoL . The clypeal margin is deeply sinuate in the centre and angulate to dentate at the sides in females with more or less developed horns in males of most species, spectacularly so in F. barratti View in CoL . The metepisternum is triangular and widest anteriorly with a slightly convex epipleural margin. The epipleural cleft is slight and the elytra are opened and lifted to unfurl wings for flight since they not fused along the sutural margin.
