The GenusTentyria(Latreille, 1802) in Doñana National Park (Southern Iberian Peninsula) with Descriptions of Two New Species (Insecta: Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

A comprehensive study of the genus Tentyria in Doñana National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its ecological diversity, reveals four distinct species, including two newly discovered ones: T. donanensis sp. nov. and T. bifida sp. nov. The research provides detailed morphological comparisons, phenological data, distribution patterns, and abundance records of these beetles, which are significant representatives of the park's soil-dwelling fauna. Additionally, it clarifies taxonomic ambiguities by designating a lectotype for T. subcostata and proposing new synonymies and validations for other species within the genus. A key to identify Tentyria species in Doñana is also included, contributing valuable insights for both academic research and conservation efforts.
