The generic name Lanchnophorus Reuter, 1887, deemed for a long time to be unavailable as incorrect original spelling of Lachnophorus (in fact Lachnophorus Distant, 1903 is an unjustified emendation of the former), is restored as a valid name of the genus. Lachnesthus Bergroth, 1915, syn. nov. (new name for the preoccupied Lachnophorus Distant, 1903) is considered junior synonym of Lanchnophorus. The following nomenclatural changes are proposed: Lanchnophorus flavus (Scudder, 1971) comb. nov. = Lachnesthus chinai Scudder, nomen nudum; Lanchnophorus guttulatus Reuter, 1887, comb. restit. = Lachnophorus albidomaculatus Distant, 1913, syn. nov. = Lachnesthus rodriguezensis China, 1925, syn. nov.; Lanchnophorus leucospilus (Walker, 1872) comb. nov.; Lanchnophorus merula (Distant, 1903) comb. nov.; and Lanchnophorus singalensis (Dohrn, 1860) comb. nov. Three new species are described: Lanchnophorus gaoqingae Kment & Jindra sp. nov. from China (Yunnan), Lanchnophorus seminitens Kment & Carapezza sp. nov. from Socotra Island (Yemen), and Lanchnophorus webbi Kondorosy sp. nov. from India: Tamil Nadu. Bibliographies and known distribution of all the included species are reviewed. The following new country and state records are provided: L. flavus from Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Malawi, Niger, Zambia and Zimbabwe; L. leucospilus from China (Yunnan) and Laos, L. merula from India (Kerala/Tamil Nadu) and Thailand; L. singalensis from Angola, Benin, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, China (Hainan), Iran (Sistan and Ba-luchestan), Oman, Pakistan, India (Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan), Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand.
1887年的通用名称Lanchnophorus Reuter长期以来被认为不可用，因为它是Lachnophorus的错误原始拼写（实际上Lachnophorus Distant，1903年是对前者的不合理修订），现恢复为该属的有效名称。Lachnesthus Bergroth，1915年，新同物异名（Lachnophorus Distant，1903年被占用后的新名称）被视为Lanchnophorus的次同物异名。提出了以下命名变化：Lanchnophorus flavus（Scudder，1971）新组合 = Lachnesthus chinai Scudder，裸名；Lanchnophorus guttulatus Reuter，1887年，恢复组合 = Lachnophorus albidomaculatus Distant，1913年，新同物异名 = Lachnesthus rodriguezensis China，1925年，新同物异名；Lanchnophorus leucospilus（Walker，1872）新组合；Lanchnophorus merula（Distant，1903）新组合；以及Lanchnophorus singalensis（Dohrn，1860）新组合。描述了三个新物种：来自中国（云南）的Lanchnophorus gaoqingae Kment & Jindra新种、来自索科特拉岛（也门）的Lanchnophorus seminitens Kment & Carapezza新种以及来自印度泰米尔纳德邦的Lanchnophorus webbi Kondorosy新种。对所有收录物种的文献和已知分布进行了综述。提供了以下新的国家和地区记录：来自中非共和国、埃塞俄比亚、加纳、马里、马拉维、尼日尔、赞比亚和津巴布韦的L. flavus；来自中国（云南）和老挝的L. leucospilus，来自印度（喀拉拉邦/泰米尔纳德邦）和泰国的L. merula；来自安哥拉、贝宁、莫桑比克、纳米比亚、塞内加尔、塞拉利昂、坦桑尼亚多哥、乌干达、赞比亚、津巴布韦、中国（海南）、伊朗（锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦）、阿曼、巴基斯坦、印度（喜马偕尔邦、卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦、拉贾斯坦邦）、马来西亚、菲律宾和泰国的L. singalensis。
