4C0E8791FF81AD44FF59CDFEFF0CF682.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS AND NOTE. Grimmer says it is similar to flavus [= Malthinus flaveolus (Herbst)], but smaller in size and with a black line running along the pronotum. This diagnosis is inadequate and could be adapted to at least three species: Malthinus seriepunctatus Kiesenwetter, Malthinus facialis (C. G. Thomson) and Malthinus fasciatus (A. G. Olivier). Therefore, given the absence of the Holotype, Malthinus gracilis Grimmer is here considered a nomen dubium.	en	Fanti, Fabrizio (2018): On the three species of Cantharidae described by Grimmer.

4C0E8791FF81AD44FF59C83EF964F0A2.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS AND NOTE. Meuth (1913) informs us that Grimmer collected in a circle of 2 x 2 square miles around Graz in Austria. Then, the species was reported by Kelch (1846) for Upper Silesia - area of Racibórz, and again for Silesia by Bach (1852). The small size and coloration make one think of a Malthodes, and therefore indeterminable without seeing the type or having a diagnosis on male terminalia. Bach (1852) redescribes the species on material determined by Grimmer himself, but unfortunately also his collection, once conserved at the Zoological Museum Marburg / Philipps-University Marburg, is now completely untraceable (Horn et al. 1990; Bousquet 2016; Groll 2017; Lothar Beck personal communication). Therefore, the status of nomen dubium attributed by Burakowski et al. (1985), is here confirmed.	en	Fanti, Fabrizio (2018): On the three species of Cantharidae described by Grimmer.

4C0E8791FF81AD44FF59CF9EFF9EF0C2.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS AND NOTE. Grimmer says it is similar to nigricornis, a name used by many authors of that period to indicate Cantharis quadripunctata (O. F. Müller). The small differences reported by Grimmer, concerning the black design on the pronotum and the length of the antennae, fit perfectly, into the variability of Cantharis quandripunctata, with which Telephorus nigripes is here synonymized.	en	Fanti, Fabrizio (2018): On the three species of Cantharidae described by Grimmer.
