Tenor banjos are tuned cgda like a viola and mandola.

[@ised-5239]

All of those read the alto clef.

And in Irish music the cgda tenor banjo can also be the substitute for the mandola for the Irish tune mandola players.

@@ised-5239 and it is almost always tuned G D A E, same as the fiddle!

​@@clivelangman8696 But an octave lower or you'll break a lot of strings :-)

So the standard jazz tenor banjo like above is the CONTRALTO BANJO whereas the irish ones is the BARITENOR BANJO.
