A review of varieties described by Johan Reinhold Sahlberg in Tachyina is presented, with comments on their availability. The following varieties are treated as unavailable infrasubspecific names: Tachys (Tachyura) quadrisignatus var. caramanicus J.R. Sahlberg, 1913, Tachys (Tachyura) sexstriatus var. brunneicollis J.R.
