Abstract: Type specimens of the species Anobium micans Fabricius, 1792, A. nitidum
Fabricius, 1792, and Kateretes castaneus Herbst, 1793, were revised and
lectotypes designated. The following new synonymies are established: Cis micans
(Fabricius, 1792) = Cis hispidus (Paykull, 1798) syn. nov.; Sulcacis nitidus
(Fabricius, 1792) comb. nov. = Sulcacis affinis (Gyllenhal, 1827) syn. nov. Cis
castaneus (Herbst, 1793) comb. nov. = Cis alter Silfverberg, 1991, syn. .nov. is
the first available name for Cis nitidus auct. (non Fabricius, 1792), Cis
fusciclavis Nyholm, 1953, for Cis castaneus Mellié, 1849 (non Herbst, 1793),
and Cis submicans Abeille de Perrin, 1874, for Cis micans auct. (non Fabricius,
1792). Genus-group name Eridaulus Thomson is available with the date 1859 and
with the type species Cis comptus Gyllenhal, 1827, by original designation.
Valid name of Eridaulus sensu Thomson, 1863, is Xestocis Casey, 1898.
