Abstract. As a result of examination of type specimens and old and new materials of species that occur in
Singapore, the following four nomenclatural changes for the Carabidae and Tenebrionidae are proposed: —
Resurrected synonym: Derosphaerus metallescens (Fairmaire, 1893) [status restored] is removed from synonymy
of Derosphaerus viriditinctus (Fairmaire, 1882). — New synonymy: Andrewesia apicalis (Chaudoir, 1872) =
Andrewesia obesa (Andrewes, 1923) [new synonym] — New combination: Actenoncus solidicornis (Tian & Deuve,
2003) [new combination] from Orthogonius solidicornis Tian & Deuve, 2003. New names because of preoccupied
old species name: Uloma grimmi [new name] = Uloma gebieni Schawaller, 2000 [preoccupied]. Two new species
of Tenebrionidae from Singapore are described under the following names: Uloma schawalleri, new species, and
Promethis tuberculata, new species

Key words. Carabidae, Tenebrionidae, Derosphaerus, Uloma, Promethis
