Diagnosis: Body elongate, narrow, up to 5 mm in length, yellowish semitransparent with small reddish-brown spots. Rhinophores and oral tentacles elongated, smooth. Cerata finger-shaped, with pointed tips, bearing small thickening in upper part, arranged in 5–7 groups with 1–2 cerata per group. Jaws triangular-shaped with masticatory border bearing one row of small conical denticles. Radular formula 18–22 × 1.1.1. Triangular rachidian tooth with depressed central cusp and 6-7 lateral denticles on each side. Lateral teeth with rectangular base and triangular cusp. Ampulla small, bean-shaped. Vas deferens without prostatic part. Penis conical. Receptaculum seminis bent in middle part, expanded.
Molecular data: A BLAST-n search of COI sequences resulted in 99.57% identity to sequences of E. rupium from GenBank thus confirming distinctness of the studied specimens.
Distribution: This species has a wide distribution, having been recorded from Greenland [type locality, see Møller, 1842], Norway, Sweden, the Barents Sea, and the White Sea [Martynov, 1998; Cella et al., 2016], the Sea of Japan [Martynov, 1998], Maine [Cella et al., 2016]. This is the first record of this species from Sakhalin Is. (Aniva Bay), although it has been found from adjacent areas [Martynov, 2013].

Material studied: MIMB48078, 1 specimen, dissected, the Sea of Okhotsk, Aniva Bay, Moguchi River, Hirano ridge, 46°05.372’N, 142°13.612’E, 20 m in depth, 20.08.2013, coll. A. Plaksin, A. Semenov.
Diagnosis: Body large, wide, 30 mm in length, yellowish to brown with intensive dark brown to black pigmentation on dorsal side of anterior body parts and head. Body, rhinophores and tips of cerata intensively covered by opaque yellow and black speckles. Rhinophores conical, smooth. Cerata cylindrical, slightly flattened near base, arranged in continuous, densely packed rows. Jaws oval plates with smooth masticatory border. Radular formula 19 × 0.1.0. Wide rachidian tooth pectinate with 28–35 sharply pointed denticles. No central cusp visible. Ampulla narrow, convoluted. Vas deferens moderately long, widened near penial sheath. Penis conical. Receptaculum seminis ovate, muscular.
Molecular data: A BLAST-n search of COI sequence resulted 99.85% identical to sequences of Aeolidia papillosa from the North-East Pacific (JX087536, KF643410) thus confirming the species identity of our samples.
Distribution: This species has a wide distribution in the boreal regions of the North Pacific and North Atlantic and also occurs in Arctic waters [the White and the Barents seas, see Kienberger et al., 2016]. Recent study highlighted that the presence of this species in Japan [Baba, 1935] needs further confirmation [Kienberger et al., 2016]. Since Baba’s specimens [1935] were also collected from Aniva Bay, our molecular results confirm the identity of this species in northwestern Pacific.

C. (Pseudochlaeniellus) farkaci Kirschenhofer, 2005: 169 syn. n.
C. (Pseudochlaeniellus) viangchanensis Kirschenhofer, 1998: 321 syn. n.
Material. THAILAND: 2 ♂ — “ Paratypus Chlaenius (Pseudochlaeniellus) lomsakensis mihi Kirschenhofer ”, "N- Thailand, Lom Sak, 40 km N Phetchabun ca. 120 m, August 1987, leg. W. THIELEN" (NMW); 1 ♂ — Holotypus Ch. (P.) farkaci: " Thailand, occ. bor, 24.– 28.04.1991, Chom Thong, Jan Farkac leg.”, ”Collectio Jan Farkac" (cJF). LAOS: 1 ♂ — “ Holotypus Chlaenius (Pseudochlaeniellus) viangchanensis mihi Kirschenhofer ”, " Laos, Khou- Oudom distr. Vientiane env. VI.1989, leg. SEIDL " (cDW). 1 ♂ —“ C. (P.) germanus Chaudoir, det. Kirschenhofer 09”, “ Laos, Qudom Xay prov., Muang Pakbeng env., 4–8.V.2003, O. Šafránek leg.” (cRK).
Diagnosis. This species is most similar to C. puncticollis, sharing a large body size, but is can be diagnosed easily by wide apical band (Figs. 13–15). The aedeagus also differs dramatically (Figs. 36–38, 39), i.e. C. puncticollis has pointed apice of aedeagus.
Description. Body length 9–10 mm. Dorsal surface with dense yellow pubescence. Coloration of head and pronotum metallic green with golden overtones on the disc. Mouthparts, antennomeres and legs yellow. Antennomeres IV–XI slightly darker. Elytra metallic green, with yellow lateral band on 2–3 external intervals; apical part of band widened. Ventral surface black, iridescent, except wide lateral band on all abdominal segments.
Head very shiny, without microsculpture; punctate, with small smooth area on vertex. Pronotum convex, weakly microreticulate, very deeply and densely punctate, less or no more than one diameter distance from each other. Lateral margins narrow. Lateral sides slightly sinuate before posterior angles. Elytra with striae deep, regularly minutely punctate. Intervals almost flat.
Aedeagus (Figs. 37–39).
Comments. The study of Holotypes of C. (Pseudochlaeniellus) farkaci Kirschenhofer, 2005 syn. n. and C. (Pseudochlaeniellus) viangchanensis Kirschenhofer, 1998 syn. n. showed that there is no characters outside the range of intraspecific variation. Aedeagus structure is absolutely identical (Figs. 36–38). New synonymy is proposed here.
Distribution. Laos (country record), Thailand.

Chlaenius peleus Kirschenhofer, 2000: 59 nom. nov. for chloodes Andrewes, 1941; syn. by Kirschenhofer, 2005
Material. Type, ♂— “ Chlaenius chloodes Type Andr. H.E. Andrewes det.”, “ Andr FCD 323a”, “ Coll. F. C. Drescher, Java, Res. Cheribon, Tjideres, 100m. 18.XII.1939”, “Type” (BMNH)
Diagnosis and comments. Species known from Java only. Very similar in both external and aedeagal structure to C. caesitius Andrewes, 1923. The principal differences between two species lies in yellow pattern of elytra. Lateral band of elytra narrow, even at the apices of elytra (Fig. 20), i.e. C. caesitius has very wide lateral band, especially in apical part (Fig. 19). Such variability in the pattern is known for C. germanus (Figs. 1–6). Given that they are very similar in the shape of aedeagus, perhaps C. caesitius should be considered as a subspecies of C. neochloodes.
Description. Body length 8.3 mm. Dorsal surface with dense yellow pubescence. Coloration of head and pronotum metallic green with bluish overtones on the disc. Mouthparts, antennomeres and legs yellow. Antennomeres IV–XI slightly darker. Elytra metallic bluish green, with narrow yellow lateral band on two external intervals; apical part of band serrate. Ventral surface black, iridescent, except wide lateral band on all abdominal segments.
Head with distinct microsculpture throughout; punctate, with small smooth area on vertex. Pronotum convex, microreticulate, very deeply and densely punctate, less or no more than one diameter distance from each other. Lateral margins very narrow. Hind angles right. Elytra with striae deep, moderately punctured on the base, punctures gradually reduced towards apex. Intervals flat, just slightly convex at base.
Aedeagus robust (Fig. 28).
Distribution. Indonesia (Java).

Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Mordellistena pumila (Gyllenhal, 1810) by Emery (1876).
Remarks. The collection contains two specimens bearing the original identification labels. The female specimen designated here as lectotype is in relatively good condition. The first author identified it as Mordellistena pumila (type specimen examined, UUZM) based on the colour of pubescence, length of antennomeres and ridges on metatibiae and metatarsi. The other specimen designated here as paralectotype is completely covered in mould and impossible to identify. The series of M. stricta contains four other specimens without any identification labels. Therefore, these are not considered parts of the type series.

description: Mordellistena picipes Costa, 1854: 18, stat. restit.
(Fig. 9)
Type locality. “Adiacenze di Napoli” [adjacency of Naples], Italy.
Material examined. Lectotype by present designation (Fig. 9), male (?), MZFN: new box, labelled: “42.3982 | Mordellistena picipes, n. Napoli [original Costa’s label] | LECTOTYPE Mordellistena picipes Costa, 1854 D. Selnekovič des. 2019 [red label]”; pinned.
Diagnostic description of lectotype. Integument black; head with somewhat paler anterior portions; antennomeres 1–4, front legs, middle legs and terminal spines of metatibiae yellowish; hind legs reddish brown; pubescence yellowish. Antennomeres 5–10 ca. 1.50× as long as wide. Lateral carinae of pronotum concave in lateral aspect. Metatibiae with two long oblique lateral ridges. Metatarsomere 1 with two ridges; metatarsomere 2 with one ridge. Outer terminal spine of metatibiae short, ca. 2/3 of width of metatarsomere 1.
Current status. Valid species (stat. restit.).
Remarks. Emery (1876) and all subsequent authors considered Mordellistena picipes as a junior synonym of Mordellistena parvula (Gyllenhal, 1827). However, a recent re-examination of the lectotype revealed significant differences between M. picipes and M. parvula (type specimen examined, UUZM) in the form of lateral carinae of pronotum and colouration of the legs. Such differences lead us to consider M. (s. str.) picipes a valid species.
Mulsant (1856) listed M. picipes as a variety of M. inaequalis Mulsant, 1856 disregarding the earlier description date of the former. According to the rules of ICZN (1999), M. inaequalis should be treated as a junior synonym of M. picipes. However, we cannot confirm the status here because most of the Mulsant’s Mordellidae types, including those of M. inaequalis, have not yet been found.
The lectotype of M. picipes closely resembles M. pseudoparvula Ermisch, 1956, M. inexpectata Ermisch, 1967 and M. parvuliformis Shchegoleva-Barovskaya, 1930. Therefore, the validity of these species must be reconsidered in the future.
