84759602FFC1FFAF878BFE38D35C3231.taxon	materials_examined	Type material of Orthomus hespericus Motschulsky, 1849. Motschulsky ‟ s description of Orthomus hespericus, coming from “ principalement aux environs de Carthagène ”, based on six specimens, one of which is still preserved in ZMMU (Kelejnikova 1976: 200), and which we could investigate. It deals with a pinned male in somewhat teneral condition, and with some parts of appendages missing (Fig. 1), it is designated as lectotype by present designation, labeled: “ Orthomus hespericus Hisp. m. m ” “ [handwritten by Motschulsky, faded white label] // [blank, red label] // “ Zool. Mus. Mosc. Univ. (Moscow, RUSSIA) ex coll. V. I. Motschulsky ” [printed, white label]. Additionally with labels, subsequently added: “ LECTOTYPE Orthomus hespericus Motschulsky, 1849 des. Guéorguiev & Wrase 2015 ” [black print on red label] and “ Orthomus barbarus barbarus (Dejean, 1828) det. Guéorguiev & Wrase 2015 ” [black print on white label]. After the dissection and photographing of the habitus, the specimen was glued on white card. Its genitalia were placed on the same card in Canada balsam. Other material examined.

Systematic notes. The male syntype of Orthomus hespericus has been dissected and the aedeagus has been examined (Figs 2 - 3). The aedeagus, especially its basal half, is weakly chitinized, making it impossible to separate median lobe and parameres. The study revealed that this specimen is conspecific with the nominal subspecies of Orthomus barbarus (compare Bonadona 1979: 241, Figs 1 - 2), therefore we propose in this paper the following nomenclatorial act: Orthomus barbarus barbarus (Dejean, 1828) = Orthomus hespericus Motschulsky, 1849, new synonym In this way, we confirm the statement of Mateu (1957: 88) that the form in question belongs to the O. barbarus complex: “ … el O. hespericus Mots. (= Feronia hesperica Mots.), de Andalucía sin más indicaciones, pertenecen al complejo de O. barbarus … ”. “ Feronia hesperica ” is a wrong interpretation used for the original binomen (Mateu 1957: 88; Lorenz 1998: 249; Bousquet 2003: 477; Guéorguiev et al. 2014: 38, 41), obviously no author has seen the original description, and probably it was also caused by the fact that in the older catalogues many taxa, today running under Pterostichus Bonelli, 1810 or Orthomus, were placed under the genus Feronia Latreille, 1816 and in the subgenus Orthomus (Marseul 1880: 43, 1882: 287), without indication of the original binomen.	en	Guéorguiev, Borislav, Wrase, David W.

84759602FFC1FFAF878BFE38D35C3231.taxon	distribution	Distribution. The nominate subspecies of O. barbarus is the most widely distributed taxon of the genus in the Iberian Peninsula (Mateu 1957: 94; Serrano 2013: 74; for lectotype designation, type locality, and other details of nomenclature and taxonomy see Bonadona 1979). It occurs mainly in the central and eastern regions of Spain, northwards reaching the middle Ebro Valley, and has a rather restricted distribution in southern France near Marseille. Mateu (1957: 98) also recorded the species under the name O. barbarus ssp. expansus from Portugal (Lagos), this was the source for the indication of Portugal in the updated checklist of the species of Orthomus (Guéorguiev et al. 2014: 40), but Portuguese findings could not be confirmed and refer without doubt to O. velocissimus akbensis Mateu, 1955 (see also Jeanne 1981: 45, with reference to Jeanne 1966: 10, and Serrano 2013: 74).	en	Guéorguiev, Borislav, Wrase, David W.

84759602FFC3FFAF878BFCF2D3DD376B.taxon	discussion	Feronia (Argutor) rectangulus Fairmaire, 1859, described from Batna, Algeria, probably is to fall into synonymy with another species of Orthomus, rather than with O. barbarus barbarus, though it was recently provisionally placed under the last taxon (see Guéorguiev et al. 2014: 40, Note 1). According to the present knowledge (Bousquet 2003; Pupier & Coulon 2013), the latter species does not occur outside Europe, so it makes no sense to let the former in synonymy with O. barbarus. The scanty description of F. rectangulus fits well on that of O. berytensis. A study of specimens of the latter species, all coming from central and eastern Algeria, showed that the taxon in question could be better provisionally inserted as possible synonym to it, rather than to other congeners from Algeria. Judging from the description, F. rectangulus seems distinct from the taxa of the “ O. rubicundus ” group (see Wrase & Jeanne 2005) by its total body size (9.5 mm). The largest species of this group from Algeria and Tunisia is O. aquila (Coquerel, 1859), with a body size of 7.1 - 9.1 mm. In any way, the type locality of the taxon described by Fairmaire falls well into the wide distribution range of O. berytensis, which lives also in Algeria in its central and eastern parts. Because of that it seems reasonable to us to treat F. rectangulus as probable junior subjective synonym of O. berytensis.	en	Guéorguiev, Borislav, Wrase, David W.

84759602FFC3FFAF878BFCF2D3DD376B.taxon	description	Recently, Lorenz (2005: 265) noted that the name rectangulus proposed by Fairmaire (1859: li) is a junior secondary homonym of the name rectangulus proposed by Cuvier (1833: 194). This should be incorrect as the original binomen of the latter is Carabus rectangulus, now a junior subjective synonym of Abax parallelus parallelus (Duftschmid, 1812) (see Bousquet 2003: 470; Lorenz 2005: 292), while the original binomen of the name proposed by Fairmaire (1859) is Feronia rectangula. At present, both binominal names concern different valid genera – the former Abax Bonelli, 1810, and the latter Orthomus, hence this case does not apply to Article 57.3 of the Code (ICZN 1999).	en	Guéorguiev, Borislav, Wrase, David W.

84759602FFC4FFA8878BFDCDD59F3507.taxon	discussion	Note 2: Formerly, the taxa formenterrae and penibeticus were treated as subspecies of O. abacoides by Zaballos and Jeanne (1994) and Ortuño (1996). The contrary is the view of Serrano (2003, 2013) and Bousquet (2003) who have treated them as subspecies of O. barbarus. Recently, Pupier and Coulon (2013) made a detailed study of the female genitalia of two groups of Orthomus, including the genitalia of the aforementioned three taxa. The French authors showed that the spermathecal complex of both formenterrae and penibeticus is of the type “ barbarus ”, while that of O. abacoides is of the type “ abacoides ”, as clear morphological differences exist between the two morphological types. They concluded (ibid.: 223): “ Quant а Orthomus abacoides (Lucas, 1846), il s ‟ agit d ‟ un endémique de l ‟ Algérie occidentale; il ne semble pas dépasser au sud les monts de Tlemcen et les monts de Daïa, où il serait remplacée par O. lacouri. On ne peut admettre que O. penibeticus Mateu et Colas, 1954 et O. formenterrae (Breit, 1933) en soient des sousespèces, leurs genitalia femelles étant du type « barbarus ›› (voir fig. 4 f et Ortuño, 1996) ”.	en	Guéorguiev, Borislav, Wrase, David W.
