            <p> Telephorus imperialis Gorham, 1889 is a primary homonym and preoccupied by  Telephorus imperialis Redtenbacher, 1867, so the former is permanently invalid (ICZN, 4th ed., article 57.2) and should be replaced by the next oldest available name among its synonyms (ICZN, 4th ed., article 23.3.5), that is,  Themus (s.str.) regalis (Gorham, 1889) should be restated as the valid name for this species. </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species was originally described as  Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926 (located in Vietnam), which became a junior secondary homonym of  Themus rufoscutus (Pic, 1922) (located in Yunnan, China) since the taxonomic status of the latter was changed by Wittmer (1983a), so the former was replaced by  Themus (s.str.) scutulatus in the latter study. However, this nomenclature change was neglected by Kazantsev (2007), so that  Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926 was replaced again by  Themus (s.str.) hmong. In the same work (Kazantsev and Brancucci 2007), the distribution of this species was recorded occurring in both Vietnam and China (Yunnan). Obviously,  Themus (s.str.) hmong is a junior objective synonym of  Themus (s.str.) scutulatus (ICZN, 4th ed., article 72.7), which should be restricted to Vietnam and excluded from the Chinese fauna at the moment. </p>

            <p> Remarks . </p>
            <p> According to the original publication, the types of  Themus violetipennis Wang &amp; Yang, 1992 were deposited in the IZAS and China Agriculture University, Beijing, China (CAUB), but our search of the types in the two Chinese museums have been long, repeated and with no results. The original description of  Themus violetipennis was in accord with the standard of that time but insufficient considering the present level, and neotype allows us to satisfy a better comparision. Fortunately, a female specimen, which was collected at the same locality and date as that of one paratype designated by Wang and Yang (1992), was found in IZAS during our study. Its morphological characters are consistent with the original description, so it is designated as the neotype here, in order to clarify the taxonomic status of this species (ICZN, 4th, article 75.3). Furthermore, a careful examination of the types shows that  Themus violetipennis Wang &amp; Yang, 1992 is a junior synonym of  Themus (Telephorops) coelestis (Gorham, 1889), which is widely distributed in China based on the data from a large series of examined specimens. </p>

            <p> Having examined the holotypes of  Themus cribripennis Wittmer, 1983b and  Themus bitinctus uniformis Wittmer, 1983a, we were unable to find differences justifying their separation, which has led us to consider all the examined specimens of both nominal species to be conspecific. Therefore, we synonymized  Themus cribripennis under  Themus bitinctus uniformis . Furthermore,  Themus bitinctus uniformis should be upgraded to the specific rank, because it is obviously different from  Themus bitinctus Wittmer, 1982 (located in Vietnam) in the aedeagus, except the difference in the elytra coloration from the latter. </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Themus licenti Pic, 1938a was synonymized with  Themus coriaceipennis (Fairmaire, 1889) by Wittmer (1983a). However, examination of the holotypes of both nominal species shows that they are different species.  Themus licenti is obviously different from  Themus coriaceipennis in the following characters: head (Fig. 3) width across eyes wider than anterior margin of pronotum, pronotum reddish brown with a large black marking in middle, abdominal sternite VIII of female (see Wittmer 1983a: fig. 111) deeply concaved on both sides of the middle emargination of posterior margin; while in  Themus coriaceipennis (Fig. 4), head width across eyes narrower than anterior margin of pronotum, pronotum uniformly dark brown, without any black marking, abdominal sternite VIII of female (Fig. 22) slightly concaved on both sides of the middle emargination of posterior margin. Therefore, we suggest  Themus licenti Pic, 1938a be resurrected from synonymy with  Themus coriaceipennis (Fairmaire, 1889). </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The neotype is designated for  Athemus (s.str.) maculithorax Wang &amp; Yang, 1992 here, according to the loss of the type, and for allowing a comparision based on most of the criteria (ICZN, 4th, article 75.3). The  latter’s name was replaced by  Athemus wangi by  Švihla (2004) and now is placed in  Lycocerus (Kazantsev and Brancucci 2007). Having examined the lectotype of  Lycocerus asperipennis and a large series of additional specimens from China, we suggest  Lycocerus wangi is a junior synonym of  Lycocerus asperipennis , since that we could not find any difference to justify their separation. </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species was located in Borneo and originally described in  Athemellus Wittmer, 1972, which was synonymized with  Lycocerus Gorham, 1889 by Okushima (2005), so it should be placed in the latter genus for the time being. Because of this change, this species and  Lycocerus atricolor (Pic, 1922) (originally in  Athemus ) become secondary homonyms and the junior is invalid (ICZN, 4th, article 57.3.1), so its name is replaced by  Lycocerus borneoensis nom. n. here. </p>

            <p> Both  Lycocerus amplus (Wittmer, 1995) and  Lycocerus bilineatus (Wittmer, 1995) were originally described in  Athemus and assigned to different subgenera. In the original manuscript (Wittmer 1995),  Lycocerus bilineatus was described on a single male type, so it made no sense that it was attributed to the subgenus  Isathemus because of no female available. Furthermore, having examined the holotypes of both nominal species and some paratypes, as well as a series of additional specimens, we could not find any difference justifying their separation, even in the tarsal claws, which is the character to distinguish the subgenera  Athemus and  Isathemus (Wittmer 1995). Consequently, we synonymized  Lycocerus amplus under  Lycocerus bilineatus . </p>

            <p> Fairmaire described a  Podabrus dimidiaticrus Fairmaire, 1889: 40 which became  Athemellus dimidiaticrus by Wittmer (1972b) and now  Lycocerus dimidiaticrus (Fairmaire, 1889), which however was neglected by Kazantsev and Brancucci (2007), and in the same original publication also a  Telephorus dimidiaticrus Fairmaire, 1889: 41 which became  Athemus dimidiaticrus by Wittmer (1972a) and now to be placed in  Lycocerus , the two species become secondary homonyms and the junior is invalid (ICZN, 4th, article 57.31.), so that a new name is needed,  Lycocerus fairmairei nom. n., to replace the name of the latter species. </p>
            <p> At the same time, having examined the holotype of  Telephorus dimidiaticrus and lectotype of  Lycocerus orientalis (Gorham, 1889) (1♂ (NHMB): [p]"Foochau \ April, 1886 \ Leech.", [h]"A. orientalis", [p]  “LECTOTYPE” , [p]"CANTHARIDAE \ CANTH00001609".), we found that the formeris distinctly different from the latter in the aedeagus (Figs 19−21; the  latter’s , see Wittmer 1995: figs. 109, 110), so we suggest  Telephorus dimidiaticrus Fairmaire, 1889: 41, with its new replacement name  Lycocerus fairmairei nom. n., to be resurrected from synonymy with  Lycocerus orientalis . </p>

            <p> Although the type specimen of  Cantharis
confossicollis
 was attached with  Wittmer’s manuscript label "  Athem ellus confossicollis (Fairm.)", it has never been published formally for this taxonomic change. In our opinion, this speciesis definitely a member of  Lycocerus due to the following characters: pronotum subquadrate, all tarsal claws simple and the aedeagus with dorsal plates of parameres separated. At the same time,  Lycocerus multiimpressus (Wittmer, 1997) is considered to be a junior synonym of  Lycocerus confossicollis (Fairmaire, 1891), comb. n., since we could not find differences between both nominal species in their morphological characters, including appearance and aedeagus. Therefore, we suggest  Lycocerus multiimpressus is a new subjective synonym of  Lycocerus confossicollis . </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Having examined the holotypes of  Cantharis rufonotaticeps Pic, 1921 and  Lycocerus brunneonotaticeps (Pic, 1922) (originally in  Cantharis ), as well as a large series of additional specimens including both sexes, we were unable to find differences justifying their separation, although some variation in the coloration of head and elytra, which has led us to consider all the examined specimens of both nominal species to be conspecific. Furthermore, we discovered that their characters are consistent with the redescription and illustrations of  Lycocerus plebejus (Kiesenwetter, 1874) provided by Okushima (2005). Consequently, we synonymized  Cantharis rufonotaticeps and  Lycocerus brunneonotaticeps under  Lycocerus plebejus , whichconfirmed  Okushima’s presum that the latter occurs in China but Japan. </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The type specimen of this species was damaged seriously, lacking the abdomen, thorax, all legs, one elytron and part of head, but its aedeagus has been kept well, of which dorsal plates of parameres are separated (Figs 19−21), which is a diagnostic character of  Lycocerus (Okushima, 2005). This species is similar to  Lycocerus canthariformis (Ishida, 1986) (located in Japan) in the pronotum, which is rounded, wider than long, lateral margins are arcuate and posterior angles rounded, but the aedeagus is differs from that of the latter. Also, it is related to  Lycocerus pubicollis (Heyden, 1889) in the aedeagus, but obviously different from the latter in the pronotum. Consequently, we suggest the following new combination:  Lycocerus swampingatus (Pic, 1916), comb. n. </p>
