Description
Petrimordella oligocenica (Nel, 1985) comb. nov.
Stenalia oligocenica Nel, 1985: 120. Holotype: Oligocene (Rupelian), Alpes de Haute-Provence, Cereste, France.
Comments on the original description. According to the pictures provided, this is a poorly preserved fossil. The description is based on measurements. The tarsal formula is incorrectly proposed as 4-4-5 (unknown among Coleoptera) instead of the usual 5-5-4 pattern in Tenebrionoidea. As the metanepisternum is neither described nor figured, it is impossible to attribute the fossil to Stenaliini, because the shape of this sclerite is the character that differentiates Stenaliini from other tribes (FRANCISCOLO 1957a).
