<jats:p>Linnaeus described five species presently included in the genus <jats:italic>Timarcha</jats:italic>: <jats:italic>Chrysomela goettingensis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio caeruleus</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio laevigatus</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio latipes</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Tenebrio rugosus</jats:italic>. After a study of the relevant material, the identity of these species has been established. The following synonyms are proposed or confirmed: <jats:italic>Timarcha goettingensis</jats:italic> (Linnaeus, 1758) = <jats:italic>T. latipes</jats:italic> (Linnaeus, 1767), <jats:bold>syn. nov.</jats:bold>; <jats:italic>Timarcha caerulea</jats:italic> (Linnaeus, 1758), <jats:bold>comb. nov.</jats:bold> = <jats:italic>T. balearica</jats:italic> Gory, 1833, <jats:bold>syn. nov.</jats:bold> = <jats:italic>T. balearica</jats:italic> Pérez Arcas, 1865, <jats:bold>syn. nov.</jats:bold>; <jats:italic>Timarcha rugosa</jats:italic> (Linnaeus, 1767) = <jats:italic>T. scabra</jats:italic> (Olivier, 1807), <jats:bold>syn. conf.</jats:bold> = <jats:italic>T. generosa</jats:italic> Erichson, 1841, <jats:bold>syn. conf.</jats:bold>; <jats:italic>Timarcha laevigata</jats:italic> (Linnaeus, 1767) = <jats:italic>T. tenebricosa</jats:italic> (Fabricius, 1775), <jats:bold>syn. conf.</jats:bold>. The type of <jats:italic>Tenebrio caeruleus</jats:italic> is a Chrysomelidae currently belonging to genus <jats:italic>Timarcha</jats:italic> and therefore can no longer be considered a Tenebrionidae (<jats:italic>Helops caeruleus</jats:italic>) nor the type species of genus <jats:italic>Helops</jats:italic>. For the sake of nomenclatural stability, an application to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to change the relative precedence of <jats:italic>Timarcha caerulea</jats:italic> and retain usage of <jats:italic>T. balearica</jats:italic> will be made. An application to change the relative precedence of <jats:italic>Timarcha laevigata</jats:italic> has been submitted, which would lead to the conservation of usage of <jats:italic>T. tenebricosa</jats:italic> as valid. Lectotypes are designated for <jats:italic>Chrysomela goettingensis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio latipes</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio caeruleus</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Timarcha balearica</jats:italic> Gory, <jats:italic>T. balearica</jats:italic> Pérez Arcas, <jats:italic>Tenebrio rugosus</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Chrysomela scabra</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Timarcha generosa</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Tenebrio laevigatus</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Chrysomela tenebricosa</jats:italic>. For each of the valid species the diagnosis, distribution, and host-plant data are reported.</jats:p>
