The genus Appasus Amyot and Serville is resurrected from synonymy, and
Muljarus Lee placed as a junior synonym (new synonymy). Revised synon
ymies are given for the genera Appasus and Diplonychus Laporte, and fo
r Diplonychus annulatus Fabricius. Diplonychus heeri Polhemus, New Nam
e, is proposed as a replacement name for Diplonychus rotundatus Heer,
1853, a junior secondary homonym of Diplonychus rotundatus (Laporte, 1
833). Diplonychus indicus Venkatesan and Rao, 1980 is placed as a juni
or synonym of Diplonychus rusticus (Fabricius, 1781).
