The subgeneric names of Anthicus Paykull proposed by MAR- SEUL (1879) are established as valid, the emendations of SAHLBERG (1903) are accepted as justified; the replacement names of PIC (1894) are placed as junior synonyms for Anthicus: Clavicollis Marseul, Cordicollis Marseul, Hirticollis Marseul, Stricticollis Marseul, and Tenuicollis Mar- seul have priority over the more commonly known names of PIC (Clavi- comus, Cordicomus, Hirticomus, Stricticomus, Tenuicomus). [The following names are emended to the Latin nominative singular: Biscissicollis Marseul, 1879 (from Biscissicolles), Bitumicollis Marseul, 1879 (from Bitumicolles), Curticollis Pic, 1892 (from Curticolles), Ephippicollis Marseul, 1879 (from Ephippicolles), Laticollis Marseul, 1879 (from Laticolles), Recticollis Marseul, 1879 (from Recticolles), Rotundicollis Marseul, 1879 (from Rotundicolles), Spinicornus Krekich-Strassoldo, 1919 (from Spinicornes), Spiniferus Pic, 1911 (from Spiniferes), Stenicollis Marseul, 1879 (from Stenicolles), Sulcicollus Marseul, 1879 (from Sulcicolles).] Seventeen new generic-level synonymies are presented: Bir- ricollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov., Brevicollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov., Curticollis Pic, 1892 syn. nov., Eonius Thomson, 1864 syn. nov., Nodo- linus Mulsant & Rey, 1866 syn. nov., Pubicollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov., Recticollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov., Pseudanthicus Desbrochers des Loges, 1868 syn. nov. (= Clavicollis Marseul, 1879), priority reversed due to lack of use; Bitumicollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov., Laticollis Mar- seul, 1879 syn. nov. (= Cordicollis Marseul, 1879), Spiniferus Pic, 1911 syn. nov., Spinicornus Krekich-Strassoldo, 1919 syn. nov. (= Cyclodinus Mulsant & Rey, 1866), Ephippicollis Marseul, 1879 syn. nov.

(= Omonadus Mulsant & Rey, 1866), Sulcicollus Marseul, 1879 syn. nov. (= Stricticolles Marseul, 1879). Type species are designated for three genus level taxa: Monocerus Villa & Villa, 1833, type species Notoxus cornutus Fabricius, 1792; Nodolinus Mulsant & Rey, 1866, type species Anthicus schmidtii Rosenhauer, 1847; Spiniferus Pic, 1911, type species Anthicus cerastes Truqui, 1855. Ambly- derus LaFerte-Senectere, 1847 is recognized as a justified emendation for Aneblyderes LaFerte-Senectere, 1847. Notoxus excisus Kuster, 1848 has priority over N. cavifrons LaFerte-Senectere, 1849 syn. nov. and N. hispanicus Motschulsky, 1849 syn. nov.; Anthicus minutus LaFerte- Senectere, 1842 is given priority over A. sardous Schmidt, 1842 (nomen oblitum); Anthicus plumbeus LaFerte-Senectere, 1842 is given priority over A. brevis Schmidt, 1842 syn. nov. (nomen oblitum), A. callosus Schmidt, 1842 syn. nov. (nomen oblitum), and A. melanarius Schmidt, 1842 syn. nov. Synonymic homonyms of Anthicus instabilis Schmidt, 1842 and A. pulchellus Schmidt, 1842 are discussed. Anthicus elegans Steven, 1806, A. subaeneus LaFerte-Senectere, 1847, and A. subtilis Gistel, 1831 are placed as nomina dubia.
