Abstract

The status of the three species of Ochlerus Spinola, 1837, described by Herrich-Schäffer in 1844 is reviewed. Ochlerus coriaceus and O. lutosus are removed from the synonymy of O. cinctus Spinola, 1837, while O. sordidus is transferred to Paralincus sordidus. Lectotypes are designated, and photos for each type and new records for O. coriaceus are provided.
