Abstract: The name Isophya tatrica Mařan, 1957, was used by DOBŠÍK (1959) in the series
‘Key to the fauna of Czechoslovakia’ but the species has never been properly
described and the name must be considered as nomen nudum. Based on the study of
material deposited in the National Museum in Praha and designated by Mařan as
the holotypus and allotypus of I. tatrica, we confirm his later assumption
(MAŘAN 1958) that the specimens belong to I. camptoxypha Fieber, 1853.
