Dupont and MNHN collections), without specifying author nor origin.   Additional Material: France: two specimensin NMHUB, Rambur coll.; one of them bearing an old handwritten label “  orbiculataGall.mer.”, as it is recorded in the catalogue of Dejean (1833- 1837), and one recent label with erroneous identification. The other specimen only has a recent label “Coll. ( Coleoptera) / Nr 45575 /  Tentyria laevis…/ Carthagena Dej. / Zool. Mus. Berlin”, with identification and locality erroneous; specimens from MNHN, labelled as “Gallia” from the Solier’s collection (coll. Marseul, MNHN); one specimenfrom the collection of Scĥnherr, labelled “Gallia/Muls.” (Mulsant ex coll. Chevrolat, NRMS);  Tentyria interrupta, France/Allard (1ex, coll.

( 4♀♀and 2♁♁, CJF).   Diagnosis:Black body; slightly bright elytra; elongated and punctured head, very prominent supraocular fold; truncated or sub-rounded epistome. Pronotum: slightly convex and transverse; somewhat punctured, and narrower towards the base; sub-orbicular or sub-cordiform, with the base slightly rounded and sometimes somewhat sinuous before the posterior angles. Commonly it is provided with two slightly marked depths on both sides of the dorsal midline. Elytra: elongated, ovate, with the sides almost likewise narrowed towards the base and apex, slightly striated and sub-rough, margin of the base irregular, practically erased or interrupted before the scutellum. Aedeagus narrow, sides sub-parallel and parameters barely longer than the phallobase. Fully description of this taxon can be found in Mulsant (1854).   Comments:  T. interruptaLatreillehas been cited with different taxonomic rank, from several geographical areas of the Iberian Peninsula and by diverse authors. In the catalog of de la Fuente (1934)it is cited from Palencia, León (Paganetti), Zaragoza (Gorriz) and Barcelona (Cuní, Müller). These citations, according to Español (1956), must correspond to other taxa. Español (1956)cites it as  T. interruptassp. heydeni( = T. espanoli  sp. nov.) from northwestern Spain, and later the same author ( Español 1960) cited it again as a separate species from  T. heydeni. Viñolas (1986and 1991) and Viñolas & Cartagena (2005)cited it from Galiciaand northern Portugal, as  T. curculionoidesssp. interruptaconsidering  T. heydenia synonymy of this taxon. Later authors (L̂bl & Smetana 2008, Grimm & Aistleitner 2009, Martínez 2018, Iwan & L̂bl 2020) cited  T. interruptaas an independent species, from France, Spain, and Portugal. Despite all these citations, the presence of this taxon in the Iberian Peninsula needs to be confirmed due to confusion with other taxa. Furthermore, the specimens we have examined and identified as  T. interruptacarry a single label “Herdade do Reguengo 1400m” (without date or collector) which does not allow us to determine with accuracy the locality of provenance, although everything seems to indicate that it is a locality in Galicia or Portugal.  Geographical distribution:Western and southwestern France( Mulsant 1854, Español 1960). The bibliographic references corresponding to the Iberian Peninsula need to be confirmed.  Group of  T. platyceps
