Abstrakt:	Abstract: The genus Lychas C. L. Koch, 1845 is revised, with diagnostic characters and geographic distributions given for all of its species. Lectotypes and/or paralectotypes are designated for Lyhcas asper obscurus Kraepelin, 1913, L. braueri (Kraepelin, 1896), L. baldasseroni Caporiacco, 1947, L. marmoreus kimberleyanus Kraepelin, 1916, L. marmoreus splendens Kraepelin, 1916, L. mjobergi Kraepelin, 1916, L. obsti Kraepelin, 1913, L. perfidus (Keyserling, 1885), L. shelfordi (Berolli, 1904), L. mjobergi Kraepelin, 1916, L. obsti Kraepelin, 1913, L. perfidus (Keyserling, 1884), L. tweediei Kopstein, 1937, and L. variatus papuanus (Thorell, 1888). L. asper obscurus Kraepelin, 1913, is synonymized with the nominotypical L. asper asper (Pocock, 1891); L. burdoi regulosus Birula, 1916, and L. burdoi rhodesianus Lawrence, 1938, are synonymized with the nominotypical L. burdoi burdoi (Simon, 1882); L. tweediei Kopstein, 1937, is synonymized with the nominotypical L. burdoi burdoi (Simon, 1882); L. tweediei Caporiacco, 1947, and L. nucifer Basu, 1964, are synonymizded with L. mucronatus (Fabricius, 1798); L. decoratus Basu, 1964, is synonymized with L. nigristernis (Pocock, 1899); and L. nigrimanus Kraepelin, 1898, is synonymized with L. scutilus C. L. Koch, 1845. In contrast, L. mjobergi Kraepelin, 1916, is considered valid. L. buchari sp. n. (Australia), L. farkasi sp. n. (Nepal), L. heurtaultae sp. n. (Nepal), L. hillyardi sp. n. (India), L. lourencoi sp. n. (Indonesia), and L. rackae sp. n. (India) are described and a key for species of the genus Lychas is provided. First record of L. laevifrons (Pocock, 1897) for Nepal, L. shelfordi (Borelli, 1904) for Indonesia are established. The genus Hemilychas Hirst, 1911, with the type species Hemilychas alexandrinus Hirst, 1911, is re-defined and differentiated from Lychas by the fifth metasomal segment which is without keels and punctate (as in Orthochirus Karsch, 1892) rather than granulate or smooth.
