Abstract
Eight new synonyms of Euconnus (Napochus) campestris campestris (Schaufuss, 1866), a species previously known only from the Neotropical Region, are recongnized: E. duboisi duboisi Méquignon, 1930 from Europe, E. titschacki Lhoste, 1936 from Natal, E. murielae Last, 1945 from England, E. unicus unicus Franz, 1957 from Spain, E. unicus lindbergi Franz, 1962 from Madeira, E. mussardi Franz, 1962 from Marocco, E. tristiculus Franz, 1967 from Transvaal and E. duboisi eksilis Vít, 1999 from the Azores. Euconnus campestris volkmeri Franz, 1967 described from Brasil is treated as a valid subspecies pending further study. The lectotype is designated for Scydmaenus campestris Schaufuss, 1866.
