Diagnosis: Species well distinguishable by the body, dull black and robust, with graceful legs (Fig. 187); Head (Fig. 2) with the eyes fairly convex and the temples narrowed back; anterior edge of epistome rounded and not toothed; gular groove shallow in center and slightly transverse (Fig. 37); pronotum (Fig. 71) large and transverse, with fine and dense punctures, and the sides regularly curved from the base to the apex. Basal lobe slightly protruding backward, completely margined and slightly notched or bi-mucronate; prosternal apophysis lanceolate (Fig. 107). Elytra striated or rough-striated; wider than the pronotum, and well punctured; with the base completely margined and notched around the scutellum as in T. ophiusae (Fig. 143). Anal sternite truncate at the apex (Fig. 149). Aedeagus robust, about 3.7 mm long, with the parameres slightly longer than the phallobase, with barely sinuate sides and converging from the base, ending in a small truncated apical tooth (Fig. 155).
Comments: Sabulicolous species, inhabitant particularly the coastline, active almost all the year (Moragues 1889; Español 1960; Pons & Palmer 1996).
Designation of the Lectotype of Tentyria schaumii Kraatz, 1865, present designation:
Of the three syntypes located in the SDEI, we designate Lectotype the specimen with the following labels: Schaumii Kr. / Type Schaumi Kr., det. Schuster / Schaumii elegans mi Balearen / Coll. Kraatz / Coll. DEI Eberswalde / Syntypus / SDEI Coleoptera # 300633 (Fig. 223). The other two specimens are considered Paralectotypes.
Geographical distribution: Eastern Balearic Islands, concretely from Mallorca, Menorca and Cabrera, and the neighbouring islets (Moragues 1889, Español 1954, 1958 and 1960, Palmer & Vives 1993, Pons & Palmer 1996).
