Tenomerga is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. This genus has about 17 extant species, which are native to the eastern Palearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions. [1]

Contents

In a recent phylogenetic analysis, the species Tenomerga leucophaea was found to form a monophyletic group with Cupes capitatus and Rhipsideigma , rendering Tenomerga polyphyletic. [2] Because of this, some researchers have proposed transferring T. leucophaea to Cupes . [3]
