Ataenius insculptus has clype
Ataenius insculptus has clypeal teeth, and a cute pair of dimples on the pronotum. This one is Ataenius miamii. It is similar to At. imbricatus (which is more commonly collected than miamii), but miamii differs in not being as dulled and has a large portion of the anterior clypeus relatively smooth and shinning. Ataenius imbricatus is REALLY dulled and the coalescing punctures of the head go nearly to the anterior margin of the clypeus.
