Summary Seven species of Dolerus were found to occur at Abisko in Swedish Lapland in 1954. One of them had not been described before and two others belong to species shown here to have been described first in North America. Much new synonymy arises from these studies and new combinations result from the grouping together of several described species as races of polytypic species. All four European species of Loderus are shown for the first time to occur also in N. America, though as distinct races. A new species of Dolerus from Italy is described.
