The genus    Ablattaria    Reitter, 1884 (  Coleoptera  :   Silphidae  :   Silphinae  ) is revised. Four taxa are recognized as valid species:    Ablattaria   arenaria    (Kraatz, 1876),    A.   cribrata    (Ménétries, 1832),    A.   laevigata    (Fabricius, 1775) and    A.   subtriangula    Reitter, 1905.   Ablattaria   laevigata   var.   meridionalis   Ganglbauer, 1899 is newly treated as a junior subjective synonym of    A.   laevigata   . Lectotypes are designated for    Phosphuga   arenaria    Kraatz, 1876,   Ablattaria   arenaria   var.   punctigera   Reitter, 1884,   Ablattaria   arenaria   var.   alleoni   Portevin, 1926,    Silpha   cribrata    Ménétries, 1832,    Silpha   laevigata    Fabricius, 1775,    Silpha   gibba    Brullé, 1832,   Ablattaria   gibba   var.   costulata   Portevin, 1926,   Ablattaria   gibba   var.   distinguenda   Portevin, 1926,   Ablattaria   gibba   var.   punctata   Portevin, 1926 and    Ablattaria   subtriangula    Reitter, 1905. The distribution of all taxa is mapped, based on material examined. Geometric morphometric methods were used to evaluate shape variability in    Ablattaria   . Results indicated sexual dimorphism in all species. Shape inconsistency was found between the sexes of all taxa when tested independently. The first two relative warp axes indicated 65.17% shape variation in males and 65.72% in females. Canonical variate analysis separated the taxa studied. There was minimal overlap between some groups in both sexes. Differences in body shape between populations of    A.   laevigata    from Central Europe, Italy and Greece + Turkey were also examined. Relative warps implied 58.01% shape variability on both axes in males and 64.78% in females. CVA revealed noticeable overlaps between the groups, although the Italian population demonstrated a higher separation in both sexes.
