Types examined: Two syntypes uncatalogued from the MNHN, carrying the following old labels: Tentyria corrugata Rosh. / Málaga / Ex. Musaeo Rosenhauer / LECTOTYPE, Tentyria corrugata Rosh., det. J. Ferrer & J.L. Bujalance, ex. Coll. Oberthür via Allard MNHN (1♀ MNHN); Ex. Musaeo Rosenhauer / Paralectotype, Tentyria gaditana Rosh. (error! “ Tentyria corrugata Rosh. ”), ex. Coll. Oberthür vía Allard MNHN (1♁ MNHN). Two syntypes of Tentyria andalusiaca Kraatz syn. bearing the following labels: Andalus. Stauding / coll. Kraatz / SYNTYPUS / andalusiaca Kr., Type, det. Schuster / Coll. DEI, Münchenberg/ andalusiaca Kr. / andalusiaca Kr. / LECTOTYPUS Tentyria andalusiaca Kr., J.L. Bujalance det. 2005 (1♁, SDEI); another syntype with the first five labels identical / PARALECTOTYPUS. J.L. Bujalance det. (1♁, SDEI).

Diagnosis: Body (Fig. 211) convex, broad, and robust, integument dull black. Head (Fig. 25) with thin but dense punctures, with eyes very flat not overflowing lateral outline, supraorbital keel slightly raised; anterior edge of epistome rounded and with a minute tooth in the middle; gular groove (Fig. 59) consisting of a median depression, moderately deep and not delimited. Pronotum transverse (Figs. 93, 94), 1.3 to 1.4 times wider than long, finely but densely punctured, strongly rounded at sides, tapering evenly towards both ends, finely marginate, more strongly delimited at base, posterior angles obtuse and little or no marked in dorsal view, with base variable, from slightly curved to strongly curved and extended backwards. Prosternal apophysis with parallel sides and blunt tip (Fig. 130); the male protibiae is somewhat more graceful than those of females and with the inner edge slightly sinuous. Elytra ovate, with maximum width in the middle, tapering almost equally towards the base and apex, striated-rough, with wide intervals but, blurred by tuberous transverse wrinkles, with very fine and spaced punctures; the base is usually in arc; Aedeagus robust, with the parameters equal or slightly longer than the phallobase (Fig. 177).
Comments: T. corrugata Rosenhauer is morphologically and geographically close to T. gaditana Rosenhauer, but different in the shape and sculpture of the elytra, the base usually in arc, more angulous humeri; the male protibiae more graceful; usually, more transverse pronotum. Smaller aedeagus, more robust and with the parameters equal or slightly longer than the phallobase. The general shape of the body is also more robust and larger average size.
T. corrugata is a well characterised species and unmistakable into the distribution area but was described with a small number of specimens (Rosenhauer 1856) not well reflecting its variability. This fact together with the lack of knowledge of the types by all the authors since Rosenhauer (1856), induced Kraatz (1865) to describe T. andalusiaca Kraatz, with two exemplars from uncertain locality “ Andalucía ” and that correspond to variations of T. corrugata Rosenhauer, as it has been proved after comparing them with the locotipìcal specimens. Reitter (1900), indicated this species from Spain and Portugal. Koch (1944a) established the synonymy between T. andalusica Kraatz, and T. corrugata Rosenhauer, later confirmed by Español (1960). Viñolas (1986) considered T. corrugata Rosenhauer a subespecies of T. gaditana Rosenhauer; nevertheless, these taxa, although close, they have quite differentiable aedeagi. Lastly, Viñolas (1991) and Viñolas & Cartagena (2005), misinterpreted the description of T. andalusiaca Kraatz, and non-having seen the Types, considered it a valid species, only known from southwestern Portugal “Cabo Sardão and Vila Nova Milfontes”. However, the study of the syntypes of Tentyria andalusiaca Kraatz allows confirming the synonymy with T. corrugata Rosenhauer, established by Koch (1944a), being T. andalusiaca sensu Viñolas, an unpublished species (= T. stupefacta sp. nov.), and different from T. andalusiaca Kraatz (= T. corrugata Rosenhauer).
Designation of Lectotype of Tentyria corrugata Rosenhauer, 1856. Present designation:
The labels carried by the two historical specimens, together with the description of Rosenhauer (1856) fully concordant, indicate that these are two syntypes. For that, we designate Lectotype (Fig. 242) the specimen bearing the following label: Tentyria corrugata Rosh. / Málaga / Ex. Musaeo Rosenhauer / LECTOTYPE, Tentyria corrugata Rosh., Det. J. Ferrer & J.L. Bujalance, ex. Coll. Oberthür via Allard MNHN. Likewise, we designated Paralectotype the specimen bearing the following label: Ex. Musaeo Rosenhauer / Paralectotype, Tentyria gaditana Rosh. (error! “ Tentyria corrugata Rosh. ”), ex. Coll. Oberthür via Allard MNHN.
Designation of Lectotype of Tentyria andalusiaca Kraatz, 1865 syn. Present designation:
As a result of the confusion of this taxon with a hitherto unpublished species, Tentyria stupefacta sp. nov., we believe necessary to designate as Lectotype and Paralectotype the two specimens of the Type material (Kraatz 1865: 142). We designate Lectotype (Fig. 243) to the specimen that bears the following labels: Andalus. Stauding / coll. Kraatz / SYNTYPUS / andalusiaca Kr., Type, det. Schuster / Coll. DEI, Münchenberg / andalusiaca Kr., Light blue handwritten / andalusiaca Kr. / LECTOTYPUS Tentyria andalusiaca Kr., J.L. Bujalance des., 2005 (red label). Likewise, we designate Paralectotype to the other syntype that bears the label “ PARALECTOTYPUS. J.L. Bujalance des. 2005 “(red label), in addition to five other labels like the first five described for the Lectotype.
Geographical distribution: species described from Malaga, only known from the coast of the provinces of Malaga to Tarifa (Cádiz).
