The study results of the type specimens of tenebrionid beetles described as Apsheronellus arenarius Bogacev, 1967, Microleichenum choresmensis G. Medvedev, 1973, Lobodera (Discotus) kaszabi Skopin, 1960, Penthicus (Allomyladion) kaszabi Bogacev, 1972, Prosodes (Laraliporosodes) lar Bogacev, 1947 and Achaemenus villosus Bogacev, 1949 are presented in this paper. The following nomenclatural decisions are proposed: Microleichenium G. Medvedev, 1973 is considered a junior synonym of the name Apsheronellus Bogacev, 1967; Penticus (Allomyladion) kaszabi Bogacev, 1972 is considered a secondary junior homonym of Lobodera (D.) kaszabi Skopin, 1960 and as result, the first name is changed on Penthicus (Allomyladion) zoltani Medvedev et Iwan, nom. nov.; Prosodes (Laraliprosodes) lar Bogacev, 1947 is transferred to the subgenus Dineria Motschulsky of the genus Blaps F. and as result, Dineria Motschulsky, 1860 (type species: Blaps confuse Menetries, 1832) is considered a senior synonym of Larali- prosodes Bogacev, 1942 (type species: Prosodes lar Bogacev, 1942); the name Achaemenus Bogacev, 1949 is considered a junior homonym of Achaemenus Stal, 1856 (Cicadinea, Homoptera) and is replaced by Bogatshevia G. Medvedev et Iwan, nom. nov. (type species: Achaemenus villosus Bogacev, 1949).
