All scientific names of the southern African subtribe Eurynotina (Tenebrionidae) are catalogued. Sixteen genera containing 95 species and subspecies are listed. Data concerning primary and secondary types is provided. Schyzoschelus dumosicola var. diversipenis Koch, 1954, is recognized as an independent species. Lectotype for Eurynotus (Solenopistoma) denticostci Mulsant & Rey, 1854 is designated to fix the taxonomie status of this species. Based on the newly acquired and previously published data the diversity patterns of Eurynotina are analyzed. The highest diversity of species was reported from the Lowland and Montane fynbos and renosterveld ecoregions in the surroundings of Cape Peninsula. Distribution of the species is illustrated and listed in a CSV format. A revised key to the genera and subgenera of Eurynotina is provided.

The taxonomie and distributional data concerning the representatives of the Quadrideres interioris species-group were revised. Lectotypes for Q. interioris (Gebien, 1911), Q. lesnei Koch, 1956 and Q. volcanicus Koch, 1956 were designated. Q. kaszabi sp. nov. and Q. rex sp. nov. were described. An identification key is provided to all known species of the Q. interioris species-group. This paper brings the total species number within the genus Quadrideres to 18.

A second species of the genus Zoutpansbergia Koch, 1956 (Z. schoemani sp. nov.) is described from the Limpopo Province in South Africa. Morphology of female terminalia of the studied genus is described for the first time. Systematic position of Zoutpansbergia within the subtribe Melambiina is briefly discussed. Lectotype for Zoutpansbergia serricostata Koch, 1956 is designated, in order to fix the taxonomic status of this species.

An X-ray microtomographic analysis of the prothoracic skeleton structure of seven Platynotina species is presented. The investigated taxa represent different morphological types of pronotal discs. Tenebrio molitor was used as a reference model to all taxonomie considerations. The anatomical evidence gathered and analyzed in this study indicates that lateral indentations of nota, which are visible in most of the Ectateus generic group representatives, corresponds with a placement of the attachments of the pleural apophyses to the bottom of pronotal disc. Therefore, they should be defined as the apophyseal depressions. Furthermore, the main observed differences between the thoracic structure of the species with conspicuous apophyseal depressions and convex pronotal nota concerns the height of the pronotal disc and the elevation of its edges. The current investigations did not revealed any significant modifications of the endoskeletal structure between the prothoraces with or without the basal indentations. The study shows that X-ray microtomographic analysis is a powerful, non-destructive tool for the taxonomie considerations and that it can be safely applied to the name-bearing types. Furthermore, the application of this method, even to the dried entomological material, may provide many advantages over traditional morphological investigations.

Basing on the newly described (Ectateus ursynowiensis Kamiński sp. nov.) and the type species a new taxonomical hypothesis of the genus Ectateus is proposed. Due to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature following changes are made: designation of the lectotype for E. modestus (Fairmaire, 1887) and replacement name for the genus Cosmogaster Koch, 1956.
