Type. — Elater volhynensis Fischer, Entomog. Imp. Russ., vol. 2, p. 212, 1823. 

 (Present designation.) 



Note. — Elater atcrrimns Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., vol. 1, pt. 2, p. 653, 1740, 

 type by designation of Westwood, Int. Mod. Class. Ins., vol. '2, Gen. Syn., 

 p. 25, 1840 was not originally included. Candeze (1860) places the other 

 originally included species E. aterrimus Fabbicius, Syst. Eleuth., vol. 2, p. 

 227, 1801. in synonymy under Athous (Elater) niger Linnaeus, Fauna Suec, 

 p. 743, 1746, and later (1863) reduces the type to synonymy under Agriotes 

 (Elater) aterrimus Linnaeus. He recognizes this genus with the single 

 species Ectinus (Elater) thcsus Geemae, but later (1891) recognizes his 

 error in determining the genus and refers Ectinus Candeze to synonymy 

 under Pi^^onot'MS KiESENWETTEE. Gemminger and Harold (1869) reduce the 

 genus to synonymy under Agriotes Eschscholtz, and O. Schwarz (1906) re- 

 duces it to a subgenus of Agriotes Eschscholtz, 

 Eidolus Candeze.

 under L. strachani Hoi>e.
