The following new synonymy is established: Malthinus flaveolus (Herbst, 1786) = Malthinus robustus Motschulsky, 1853, syn. n., Malthodes brevicollis (Paykull, 1798) = Malthodes viridiventris (Motschulsky, 1853), syn. n., and Malthodes obscuricollis (Motschulsky, 1853) = Malthodes moczarskii Ganglbauer, 1912, syn. n. = Malthodes tauricus Pic, 1917, syn. n. A neotype is designated for Malthodes obscuricollis (Motschulsky, 1853) to be deposited at the Zoological Museum of Moscow University (Moscow, Russia).
