Abstract: The synonymy of Chalcionellus libanicola (Marseul, 1870) and Chalcionellus
orcinus Reichardt, 1932 is rejected based on the examination of the type
specimens of both species and Chalcionellus orcinus stat. restit. is reinstated
as a valid species. The two species differ mainly in the structure of frontal
disc, length of elytral striation, shape and punctuation of pronotum,
absence/presence of slight metallic luster on the elytra and male genitalia. The
lectotype of Chalcionellus libanicola is designated.
Key words: Chalcionellus libanicola, Chalcionellus orcinus, taxonomy, Saprininae, Histeridae, Coleoptera, Palearctic region.
