Fennica VL - 23 IS - 3 SE - Articles DO - 10.33338/ef.6897 UR - https://journal.fi/entomolfennica/article/view/6897 SP - 113–120 AB - Three species of <em>Telmatophilus </em>Heer, 1841 in the Western Palaearctic Region are revised. Basing on studies of the types of the species, <em>Telmatophilus brevicollis</em> Aubé, 1862, <em>T. caricis </em>(Olivier, 1790) and <em>T. typhae </em>(Fallén, 1802) are redescribed. Two new synonymies are established: <em>Cryptophagus sparganii</em> Ahrens, 1812 = <em>Telmatophilus caricis </em>(Olivier, 1790) and <em>Cryptophagus schonherrii</em> Gyllenhal, 1808 = <em>Telmatophilus typhae </em>(Fallén, 1802). Species are redefined according to their morphology, including that of the genitalia. A key of the studied species is included. ER -
