Resum

Ecology of Tentyria laevis Solier, 1835 and T. peiroleri Solier, 1835 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Tentyrini). The study of two closely connected species in genus Tentyria Latreille, 1804 (Tentyria laevis Solier, 1835 and T. peiroleri Solier, 1835) was carried out on different habitats of the south eastern Iberian Peninsula, by pitfall traps catched fortnightly. The influence of several evironmental characteristics as type of soil, vegetation, temperature, rainfall and their effects in the distribution of these species, were assessed. The spatial and seasonal activity during an anual cycle were also studied.
