Original description "Tenuis" is given in the heading as an apparently alternative name, but is only the Latin etymology of Tenka, a latinized name formed from a Czech word. However, Tenuis has its own entry in Neave (1940, Nomenclator Zoologicus, 4: 423), and it has also been treated by Baker as a senior homonym of Tenuis A.J. Wagner, 1910. [details]
