N2 - The genus Erymanthus Spinola, 1841 is taxonomically revised to include sixteen species. The species E. transver-sopustulatus n. sp. is described as new. Erymanthus concoloripennis Pic, 1932, n. syn. is placed in synonymy with E. bi-color Chapin, 1924, E. horridus var. semirufus Kuwert, 1893 is recognized as a distinct and valid species E. semirufus; E. variegatus Pic, 1950 n. syn. is synonymized with E. pustulosus Quedenfeldt, 1888. A key to the species, color photo-graphs, genital figures and distribution maps are provided. Erymanthus ampliatus Hintz, 1902 is transferred to the genus Gyponyx Gorham, 1883 (= Gyponyx amplicatus (Hintz, 1902) n. comb.).
