Tantesia Cachan, 1952: 397, 432.

Type Species: Tantesia zoniventris Cachan, 1952, by original designation.

Included Species:
zoniventris Cachan

Tribal Placement: Although Cachan, 1952, originally placed Tantesia in the Carpocorini, his concept of this tribe was rather broad, containing a number of genera which are now placed in other tribes. He stated that this genus was related to Antestia, the type genus for the tribe Antestiini.

Comments: This tribe is presently monotypic; the only known species, zoniventris, is apparently endemic to Madagascar.
