Based on my revision of the types of the Neotropical genera Nyctelia Latreille, 1825 (Nycteliini), Praocis Eschscholtz, 1829 (Praocini), Scotobius Germar, 1824, and Emmallodera Blanchard, 1842 (Scotobiini), nine NEW SYNONYMIES are proposed and illustrated: Nyctelia roigi Marcuzzi, 1977 with N. quadricarinata Fairmaire, 1905; Praocis freyi Marcuzzi, 1977 with P. uretai Kulzer, 1958; Praocis larraini Marcuzzi, 2001 with P. pentachorda Burmeister, 1875; Praocis sivestrii Marcuzzi, 2001 with P. striolicollis Fairmaire, 1883; Praocis baloghi Marcuzzi, 2001 with P. montana Kulzer, 1958; Scotobius freudei Marcuzzi, 1977 with S. akidioides bicostatus Kulzer, 1955; Scotobius kulzeri Marcuzzi, 1977 and S. contrerasi Marcuzzi, 1977 with 5. alaticollis Kulzer,1955; and Emmallodera ceii Marcuzzi, 1977 with E. obesa costata Kulzer, 1955. A statement on the differences between Nyctelia blapoides Fairmaire, 1905 and N. kulzeri Marcuzzi, 1977 is presented, as well as a redescription of N. blapoides.
