Tachyusa ferialis Erichson, 1839: 71 View in CoL .

Tachyusa bicolor Mulsant & Rey, 1875: 407 (synonym confirmed).

Tachyusa (Caliusa) ferialis: Mulsant & Rey, 1875: 410 View in CoL ; Ganglbauer, 1895: 248; Fenyes, 1920: 173; Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926: 586.

Type material. Tachyusa ferialis Erichson. Lectotype (here designated): ♂: Hist.­Coll. ( Coleoptera ) Nr. 5331, Tachyusa ferialis Erichson, Sardin., Géné (ZMHB) . Paralectotypes: 2♂♂ and ♀: same data as the lectotype ( ZMHB).

Tachyusa bicolor Mulsant & Rey. Lectotype (here designated): ♂: Provence, le Languedoc, le Roussillon etc. ( MHNL); Paralectotypes: 2♂♂ and 2♀♀: same data as the lectotype ( MHNL).

Taxonomic notes. An examination of the types, particularly the genitalia, revealed that Tachyusa bicolor is without doubt conspecific with T. ferialis and consequently a junior synonym of the latter.

Antennae long, clearly increasing in width apically, antennomeres 2 and 3 subequal in length, antennomeres 4–8 longer than wide, antennomeres 9–10 quadrate, antennomere 11 nearly conical.

Pronotum quadrate, lateral sides gradually narrowed in straight line to obtuse hind angles; before base with small and shallow transverse impression; surface without microsculpture; puncturation fine, moderately scattered and weakly asperate; pubescence at midline directed posteriorly in apical half and anteriorly in basal half.

Elytra subquadrate, at suture slightly shorter than pronotal length at midline; surface lacking microsculpture; puncturation fine, moderately dense and weakly asperate.

Abdomen parallel­sided, bases of tergites 3–5 each with deep transverse impression, impressions with 7–8 longitudinal ridges, tergal puncturation fine and scattered, punctures very small and scarcely visible, surface without microsculpture.
