Remark. Tetralobus cavifrons var. minor was originally proposed by Fleutiaux (1919), but without any description or diagnostic remarks. Laurent (1964d) mentioned this fact and described the variety, but similarly to other varieties described by him, this one is unavailable in the sense of the Code (ICZN 1999).
