On The Type Species Of Several Tenebrionid Genera And Subgenera (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) Author Löbl, I. Author Merkl, O. text Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 2003 2003-11-30 49 3 243 253 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.12587038 2064-2474 12587038 Subtentyrina KOCH (1939: 260) described Subtentyria , a new subgenus of Tentyria LATREILLE , 1802 , for the following four Mediterranean species: T. maroccana SOLIER , 1835 , T. elongata WALTL , 1835 , T. emarginata KRAATZ , 1865 , and T. subcostata SOLIER , 1835 . He and subsequent workers failed to designate a type species. From the four species only T.elongata is currently placed in Subtentyrina , the remaining three species are in the nominate subgenus Tentyria . The original description given by KOCH (1939: 260) characterizes the group. We designate hereby T. elongata WALTL , 1835 as the type species of Subtentyria .
