THE ASSIGNMENT OF SPECIES TO GENERA 
The major part of this work is concerned with the assignment of each Agrypnine 
species known to me to the appropriate genus. It also provides a record of the 
present location of the type-material of the majority of these species. 
With a few exceptions, generic assignments have been made only for those species 
known to me from examinations of the holotype, paratype, lectotype or syntype 
material, or specimens whose identification labels or provenance leads me to believe 
that they are correctly identified. 
The generic assignment of species by means of diagnostic characters unknown 
to earlier workers, renders it impossible to make generic assignments for the 
majority of species known to me only from the description. In the few cases in 
which the describer has recorded characters of secondary importance, such as 
the position of the propleural tarsal grooves, a generic assignment has been made. 
Generic assignments based on descriptions must be regarded as tentative until they 
have been confirmed by examination of the type-material.
