The primary types of Onciderini Thomson, 1860 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) deposited at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) are catalogued and illustrated. Data on the original combination, current name, and type locality are verified and presented. There are 36 primary types of Onciderini including 12 in Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830; four in Hypsioma Audinet-Serville, 1835; three each in Hesychotypa Thomson, 1868; Cacostola Fairmaire and Germain, 1859; and Sternycha Dillon and Dillon, 1945. A brief history of the CMNH is also presented.

Multiple sources of confusion surround the identity of Ochodaeus grandiceps Fairmaire, 1897, from Sichuan, China (Coleoptera: Ochodaeidae). Herein the type specimen is illustrated to solve these taxonomic issues. Examination of the holotype indicates that the species must be transferred to the genus Nothochodaeus Nikolajev, 2005, resulting in a new combination. The genus Mimochodaeus Nikolajev, 2009, based on a misidentifi cation of O. grandiceps as its purported type species, is discussed. Finally, Cuban specimens had been treated erroneously as belonging to O. grandiceps, and so the species had remained undescribed. A new species, Parochodaeus perdidus, is described to accommodate them.

The primary types of Onciderini Thomson, 1860 of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris, are catalogued and illustrated. Data on the original combination, current name, gender, and type locality are verifi ed and presented. There are 139 primary types of Onciderini including 38 in Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830; 17 in Hypsioma Audinet-Serville, 1835; 10 in Hesycha Fairmaire and Germain, 1859; nine in Hypselomus Perty, 1832; and eight each in Eudesmus Audinet-Serville, 1835 and Trestonia Buquet, 1859. Of the 139 primary types, 71 were described by J. Thomson, 34 by H. W. Bates, 13 by the authors of this work, and 11 by J. B. L. Buquet. One neotype and 57 lectotypes are designated. Notes on additional Onciderini types once believed to be deposited at the MNHN are presented. A brief history of the Coleoptera collection at the MNHN is also presented.

The primary types of Onciderini Thomson, 1860 of the Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH) are catalogued and illustrated. Data on the original combination, current name, gender, and type locality are verifi ed and presented. There are 14 primary types of Onciderini including fi ve in Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830; three in Charoides Dillon and Dillon, 1945; and two in Jamesia Jekel, 1861. Of the 14 primary types, 13 were described by L.S. Dillon and E.S. Dillon. One lectotype is designated. A brief history of the Coleoptera collection at the FMNH is also presented.

Adesmus martinsi (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Hemilophini), a new species from Bolivia, is described, illustrated, and included in a previous key. The new species displays gender dimorphism in the pubescent pattern and in anatomical structure. Thus, Adesmus becomes the second genus recorded in the Hemilophini to have visual chromatic dimorphism.
