Notes. The type of Malthodes viridiventris ( Motschulsky, 1853) , as of all the other types of Cantharidae View in CoL from the territory of Russia and adjacent countries, as mentioned above, appears to have been lost.
However, the description of M. viridiventris seems to be fairly clear (the species is placed in the group with ‘corselet unicolore, obscure, large, peu incliné sur les cotes, qui sont sinueux’): “De la forme élargie du Hapal. biguttatus, mais beaucoup plus petit, à peu près de la taille du Hapal. morio, avec lequel il a la plus grande ressemblance. Couleur aussi noir, premières segments de l’abdomen d’un vers jaunâtre sale, genoux et tarses brunâtres. Corselet très transversal, au milieu avec une large impression longitudinale, cotes latéraux concaves, ce qui fait surtout ressortir les angles qui sont un peu relevés. Élytres plus longues que chez Hapal. morio. Segment pygidial du dessus prolonge chez le mâle en tarrière droite, tandis que le celui du dessous a l’apparence d’un Y grec, pas plus long que les appendices des cotés latéraux. Ile de Walaam sur le Lac de Ladoga” [ Motschulsky, 1853: 12]. This description of a malthinine from northern Russia fits only to M. brevicollis , a very common Malthodes species in the area ( Fig. 9). Therefore, Malthodes viridiventris ( Motschulsky, 1853) , syn. n. is proposed to be regarded as a junior synonym of Malthodes brevicollis ( Paykull, 1798) .
