All available type materials of the Indochinese genus Goliathopsis Janson, 1881 are determined, and lectotype designations are made for G. capreolus Gestro 1888, G. despectus (Westwood, 1873), G. esquiroli Pouillaude, 1913, and G. velutinus Pouillaude, 1913. The examination of type series revealed three synonyms: Goliathopsis camptotropus Yang, 1988 new synonym and G. polystricus Yang, 1988 new synonym are synonymized with G. esquiroli, and G. maolanus Yang, 1988 new synonym is regarded as a junior synonym of G. lameyi Fairmaire, 1893. Besides, G. cervus Janson, 1881 is proved to be a valid species. Diagnoses, key, and color illustrations are provided for all species. All known distribution records are mapped, and the location of "Tsékou" and "Oui-Sy" are presented and discussed.
对印支地区的戈利亚托普斯属（Goliathopsis Janson，1881）所有现存的模式标本进行了鉴定，并为以下物种指定了选模：1888年的戈氏鹿纹锹甲（G. capreolus Gestro）、1873年的戈氏拟鹿纹锹甲（G. despectus (Westwood)）、1913年的戈氏埃氏锹甲（G. esquiroli Pouillaude）和1913年的戈氏绒锹甲（G. velutinus Pouillaude）。对模式系列的检查发现了三个同物异名：1988年的戈氏弯向锹甲（Goliathopsis camptotropus Yang）新同物异名和1988年的戈氏多纹锹甲（G. polystricus Yang）新同物异名被归为戈氏埃氏锹甲的同物异名，1988年的戈氏茂兰锹甲（G. maolanus Yang）新同物异名被视为1893年的戈氏拉氏锹甲（G. lameyi Fairmaire）的次同物异名。此外，1881年的戈氏鹿锹甲（G. cervus Janson）被证明是一个有效物种。为所有物种提供了诊断、检索表和彩色插图。绘制了所有已知的分布记录图，并给出并讨论了“册亨”和“荔波”的位置。
