Tagenostola Reitter, 1916:151 (original description). Type species: Stenosis turkestanica Reitter, 1886 , subsequently designatated by GEBIEN (1937).

Diagnosis. The genus Tagenostola is characterized by eyes not divided into upper and lower parts by genae; eyes in lateral view not diminished to narrow transverse band of facets in lower part; pronotum longer than wide and distinctly narrower than head; tempora almost straightly narrowed to cervical constriction; elytra are on humeral part suddenly narrowed to base.

Remarks. ARNDT & FERRER (1997) stated that the type species is T. turkestanica ( Reitter, 1886) by ‘original description’. However, REITTER (1916) did not designate any type species for Tagenostola , but just included T. turkestanica and T. muelleri Reitter, 1916 in the genus. Subsequently GEBIEN (1937) stated that the type species is T. turkestanica , which the author of the present paper considers the type species designation.
