A brief review of the eight species of the genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876 from the Near East (Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Egypt) is given. All species (excluding probably O. intrusicollis from Cyprus) belong to the praelonga species-group. Odocnemis evae sp. n. is described from Lebanon. The new species is similar to O. praelonga Baudi di Selve, 1876 by the presence of a mucron in females and to O. moabitica Sahlberg, 1908 by the presence of teeth and granules on inner side of metatibiae (at least in large specimens). It differs from both species by the shiny body, the presence a tooth on the outer margin of male pro- and mesotrochanters and by the structure of the aedeagus (very narrow apical piece with ball-like apex). Redescriptions, full bibliographic information and key to the species are given. Odocnemis punctata Allard, 1876 is recorded for Israel for the first time.

A taxonomic review of the genus Euboeus from the Caucasus, Iran and Turkmenistan is given. All revised species belong to the subgenus Pelorinus Vauloger de Beaupr, 1900 and can be divided into two groups: the tenebricosus species-group and the huedepohli species-group. The first one consists of mainly forest low mountain species, while the second one includes high mountain, alpine or steppe taxa.

Species of the genus Helopelius Reitter, 1922 (type species: Stenomax aeneipennis Allard, 1876) were known from Rhodes and North Africa. We found that two species described from Rhodes belong to the genus Stenohelops Reitter, 1922, and Helopelius can be interpreted as a subgenus within latter, guided by the article 23.2 of ICZN.
