Tegoprionus dentatus (Nalepa, 1894)

Tegonotus dentatus, original combination used by Nalepa (1891: 198), Nalepa (1894: 319-320) and Nalepa (1911: 273)
Tegoprionus dentatus, subsequent combination used by Keifer (1961)

The species was formally described by Nalepa (1894: 319-320, plate 4) and, subsequently, by Nalepa (1911: 273, plate 6) after a first citation by Nalepa (1891: 198; nomen nudum).
The type locality was not mentioned by Nalepa but is probably France according to Flechtmann & Amrine (2014: 81).
Type species of the genus Tegoprionus.
Redescribed from Iranian specimens by Mehri-Heyran et al. (2020).
