Abstract: Type specimens from the collection of beetles (Coleoptera) deposited in the
Department of Entomology, National Museum, Prague, are currently being
catalogued. In this part of the catalogue dealing with the Staphylinini subtribe
Philonthina (Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) we present information on types of
278 species level taxa. Except for the general collection, the type material
comes mostly from the recently acquired collection of the late Lubomír
Hromádka. A new substitute name, Philonthus acervulus nom. nov., is proposed
for Philonthus zosterops Hromádka, 2013, a junior primary homonym of Philonthus
zosterops Hromádka, 2011. One new combination is established: Eccoptolonthus
terezae (Hromádka, 2016) comb. nov. from Pseudohesperus Hayashi,
2008. Philonthus zosterops Hromádka, 2011 is synonymized with P. mesophoyx
Hromádka, 2016, syn. nov. Correct original spellings of Philonthus terathopius
Hromádka, 2012 and Philonthus crecopsis Hromádka, 2013 are fixed. The type
locality and distribution of Philonthus camelus Hromádka, 2008 is corrected
from Tanzania: Kilimandjaro to the Republic of the Congo: Bouansa.
