Asystematic review of the Mediterranean region species of the sylvicola group of Corticaria Marsham, 1802 is carried out. An identification key for the determination of those 21 species is provided. Morphological structures of the studied species are re-appraised and figures are provided of head, antennae, pronotum, and aedeagus with internal armature. The true identity of Corticaria tunisiensis Brisout de Barneville, 1884 is established by examination of the specimens of the collection of National Museum of Natural History, Paris, here designating a male lectotype and paralectotypes of both sexes.
