Tentyria mucronata ssp. ophiusae Codina, 1918: 265; Gebien 1937: 628, L̂bl & Smetana 2008: 206, Martínez 2018: 58, Iwan & L̂bl 2020: 251.
Tentyria ophiusae Codina Español 1940: 9, 1951: 11, 1954: 23 and 1960: 404, Viñolas 1986: 102, Juan & Petitpierre 1990, Pons & Palmer 1996, Viñolas & Cartagena 2005: 78 and 355 a, Viñolas et al. 2016: 131 and 2017: 74.
Types examined: Syntype: Cotypus / Tentyria ophiusae nov. sp. Codina / Formentera, S. Franc. Javier, Malaquer leg. / Zool. Staatsslg. München / ophiusae Cod. (Fig. 224).
Additional material: Formentera, La Sabina, 26.X.1948, X. Palau leg., F. Español det. (2♁ CJF and 1♁ CJLB); Ibiza, Figueroa, 16.IV.1962, F. Español leg. (MCNB); Formentera, Mitjorrn, 8.VIII,1962, Balcells leg. (MCNB); Ilot Caragolé, Freus, 1.VIII.1962, idem (MCNB); Espalmador, 10.VIII.1962, idem (MCNB); Espalmador, 4-1921 (MNCN).
Diagnosis: Species well characterised by the following features: graceful and bright body, with very fine and hardly noticeable punctures (Fig. 188). Head with large and convex eyes (Fig. 3); gular groove consisting in a shallow central depression (Fig. 38). Sides of pronotum more narrowed in the base than in the apex; margin of the base entire and thick, and the middle lobe barely indented, rather truncated or even rounded (Fig. 72); prosternal apophysis with parallel sides and rounded end (Fig. 108); elytra smooth or with vestigial stria, very oblong but sharpened towards the extreme, and barely narrowed towards the humeri which are angled and fallen, broad base, curved around the scutellum but straight to the humeri (Fig. 143); anal sternite truncate at the apex (Fig. 149); aedeagus fusiform, about 3.25 mm in length, with the parameres almost as long as the phallobase (Fig. 156).
Comments: T. ophiusae Codina was described as subspecies of T. mucronata Steven; however, according with Español (1940, 1951), it should be considered different species mainly by the configuration of the aedeagus.
Geographical distribution: Endemism from the coastal sands of the Balearic Pitiusas (Ibiza and Formentera) (Español 1960; Pons & Palmer 1996).
Group of T. subcostata
