RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 39 
Ceylon, Janson coll. 1903 : 130; Lacon trifasciatus Cdz., Ceylon (Cand.); Lacon 
trifasciatus Cand., ex coll. Cand. [Janson] (BMNH). 
Candéze (1891 : 24) listed microcephalus Motschulsky as a synonym of trifasciatus 
Candéze, disregarding the fact that Motschulsky’s description was published seven 
years before his own. Fleutiaux (1918d : 194) corrected the synonymy. 
Other material examined. CEYLON: I ¢ (ex Fry coll.), 2 2 (ex Janson Coll.); 
Dikoya, 3,800-4,200 ft, 21.i-7.11.82 (Lewis), 2 3, one with Lewis’s determination 
label: Lacon trifasciatus Cand. (BMNH). 
Lacon muicrocephalus Motschulsky has been recorded from many other localities. 
The following specimens have been examined and found not to be conspecific with 
the lectotype; they belong to a number of different species unknown to me. INDIA: 
Chota Nagpur (Candéze, 1892 : 485, as trifasciatus Candéze), 1 2 (determined by 
Candéze), 2 § (MNHU, Berlin); 14 ex., one labelled ‘trifasciatus teste Cand.’ 
(MNHU, Paris); 1 ex. (BMNH); Frazerpet, Coorg (Fleutiaux, 1933 : 3), 1 d (FRI, 
Dehra Dun). Burma: Tienzo [position unknown] (Candéze, 1888 : 91, as trifasciatus 
Candéze), 1 ex. (MCSN, Genoa). Maraya: Malacca (Fleutiaux, 1918d : 194), 3 2 
(MNHN, Paris). Camsopia: (Fleutiaux, 1927 : 92) 9 ex. (MNHN, Paris). Nortu 
VIETNAM: Hoa Binh, Lac Tho (Fleutiaux, 1927 : 92), 10 ex. (MNHN, Paris); Region 
de Luc Nam (Fleutiaux, loc. cit.), 1 ex. (MNHN, Paris). Borneo: (Candéze, 
1892c : 485, as trifasciatus Candéze and Fleutiaux, 1918d : 194) 3 ex. (MNHN, Paris). 
PHILIPPINES: (Fleutiaux, 1916: 220, as trifasciatus Candéze, and 1918d : 194) 
Luzon, Mt Maquilling, 8 ex. (MNHN, Paris); Mindanao, 1 ex. (MNHN, Paris); 
Butan, 1 ex. (MNHN, Paris); Palawan, 1 ex. (MNHN, Paris). 
I have not examined the specimens recorded from Sikkim and Bengal (Candéze, 
1892 : 485), Burma, Palon (Candéze, 1891a : 777), Sumatra, Si Rambe (Candéze, 
1894 : 486), S. Vietnam, Cochinchina (Candéze, 1892: 485), Japan, Formosa, 
Korea and Tsushima Island (Miwa, 1933 : 27, 29, 1934: 70, 185, Kishii, 1961 : 25, 
Ohira, 1968a : 73, Ohira, 1969¢ : 28). 
Up to the present time all the specimens of microcephalus Motschulsky known to 
me are from Ceylon. It seems probable that the species is restricted to that island.
