Abstract: Type species are designated for following taxa described after 1930: subgenera Macradesmia, Oteroscelopsis, Macropodesmia of Adesmia Fischer von Waldheim, subgenus Catomodontus of Catomus Allard, subgenus Cyphostethoides of Cyphostethe Marseul, subgenus Saxistena of Mesostena Eschscholtz, subgenus Subtentyrina of Tentyria Latreille, genera Lepidocnemeplatia, Pseudopachyscelis, and Tetranosis. An erroneous type species designation for Scleronimon Reitter is corrected. The genera Platyscelis Latreille and Oodescelis Motschulsky are based on the same type species, leading to description of Kaszaboscels gen. n., and to numerous new combinations. Scleropatrum Reitter and Monatrum Reichardt are synonymized, and Scleropatroides gen. n. is described to include species formerly included in the genus Scleropatrum: authors, not Reitter, 1877.
