Abstract
The genera Paederidus Mulsant & Rey, 1878, Paederus Fabricius, 1775 and Uncopaederus Korge, 1969 comprise 117 species in the Palearctic Region. In the present study, new and additional distribution data for 16 species of the genera Paederidus , Paederus and Uncopaederus are reported from different countries of the Palearctic Region. The material examined was collected between 1884 and 2017; and contained types and additional specimens in European museums and Alaşehir Zoological Museum. Among them, six species are the first country records: Albania (1), Bosnia Herzegovina (2), Israel (1), Kazakhstan (1), Macedonia (1), Montenegro (2), Morocco (1). In addition, Uncopaederus signiventris (Smetana, 1962) is illustrated. Two synonymies are proposed: Paederus littoralis Gravenhorst, 1802 = Paederus pelikani Reitter, 1884 syn. n., = Paederus littoralis ilsae Bernhauer, 1932 syn. n.
