A revision of some Far Eastern Chlaenius species is presented. The following synonyms are proposed: Chlaenius circumductus A. Morawitz, 1862 = Chlaenius lineellus Motschulsky, 1859, syn. nov.; Chlaenius semipurpureus Motschulsky, 1865 = Chlaenius posticalis Motschulsky, 1854, syn. nov. Lectotypes of Chlaenius lineellus Motschulsky, 1859, Chlaenius semipurpureus Motschulsky, 1865 and Chlaenius hospes A. Morawitz, 1862, as well as the holotype of Chlaenius posticalis Motschulsky, 1854 are designated. Only one species of the subgenus Agostenus Fischer von Waldheim, 1829, viz. Chlaenius quadrisulcatus (Paykul, 1790), is shown to populate the Far Eastern islands of Sakhalin and Kunashir (Russia), and Hokkaido and Honshu (Japan), which is new to the fauna of the Kuril Archipelago.

More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used for the classification of beetles depends on accurate nomenclatural data for each type genus. Following a review of taxonomic literature, with a focus on works that potentially contain type species designations, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural data associated with the type genus of each nomenclaturally available family-group name in Coleoptera.
