Abstract

A revision of the type material of four species of the genus Coprophilus Latreille, 1829 and a study of additional specimens of Coprophilus (Zonyptilus) reitteri Luze, 1904 from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal show that C. (Z.) burphuensis Champion, 1925, C. (Z.) longicollis Cameron, 1941, and C. (Z.) talassicus Kastcheev, 2003 (new synonyms) are subjective junior synonyms of C. reitteri.
