lepidus Konow, 1903 males, while most of the Dolerus germanicus (Fabricius, 1775) males have black mesonotum. Sometimes a red colour variation of Dolerus germanicus (Fabricius, 1775) also occurs. Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 rev. n. This species is considered to be a melanic form of Dolerus yukonensis Norton, 1872. However, checking the type and the original description we learned that Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 has nothing in common with Dolerus yukonensis Norton, 1872. Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 has abdomen entirely smooth and shining without any trace of the transverse sculpture which is characteristic for Dolerus yukonensis Norton, 1872, additionally the sawsheath pubescence is also completely different. Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 is closely related to Dolerus aericeps C. G. Thomson, 1871. The type of Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 completely agrees with the types of Dolerus (hargitai Zombori, 1994. Two type specimens of Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881 are deposited in The Natural History Museum, London, but only one agrees with the original description. Dolerus thargitai Zombori, 1994 syn. n. See under Dolerus scoticus Cameron, 1881. Dolerus pseudaeneus Lacourt, 1988 syn. n. This species differs from Dolerus aeneus Hartig, 1837 in the shape of the head and penis valve. These differences are very slight and should be considered only as individual differences. Additionally, I have seen many intermediary forms between Dolerus pseudaeneus Lacourt, 1988 and Dolerus aeneus Hartig, 1837. Dolerus pseudojaponicus Haris et Blank, 1996 This species is similar to Dolerus japoniocus Kirby, 1882 but D. pseudojaponicus Haris et Balnk, 1996 is larger, apical setae of the sawsheath dark, stiff and straight (soft, light and apically curved in Dolerus japonicus Kirby, 1882). Dolerus samarkandicus Haris, 1997 This species is closely related to Dolerus rufogeniculatus Zhelochovtsev, 1924. Benson (1967) knew both these species, however, Dolerus humeralis Benson, 1967 is identical with Dolerus rufogeniculatus Zhelochovtsev, 1924 and the Dolerus rufogeniculatus sensu Benson is the new species which received the name Dolerus samarkandicus Haris, 1997. Dolerus asceta Jakovlev, 1891 syn. n. Dolerus asceta Jakovlev, 1891 is the male of Dolerus cameroni Kirby, 1882. This species has male and female which are completely different in colour, shape and pubescence, therefore, the male and female were originally described as different species.
