C o m m e n t: According to the original description, Rugilus similis is identical with Gravenhorst´s interpretation of Paederus orbiculatus . In the historical collection of the MNHUB six specimens were found that were originally attributed to Stilicus orbiculatus sensu Gravenhorst and later labelled as S. similis , so that all of them can be regarded as syntypes. A male is designated as the lectotype. It is in agreement with the interpretation of LOHSE (1964) and COIFFAIT (1984). According to SMETANA (2004), the species was previously unknown from Slovenia.
