Dendarus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The genus is distributed from Morocco to Caucasus and exhibits a high level of diversity with 36 species, 27 of which are island endemics.[1][2] Analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of 23 species from Greece and Turkey revealed 13 distinct lineages with several para- and polyphyletic cases corresponding to three major phylogroups [south/south-east Aegean (D. foraminosus complex, D. rhodius, D. sporadicus, D. wettsteini); central to north Aegean, Turkey and mainland Greece (D. crenulatus, D. moesiacus group, D. sinuatus complex, D. stygius) and mainland Greece (D. messenius, D. paganettii)].[1]
