Adelocera nanus (Boheman) 
Lacon nanus Boheman, 1851 : 420. 
Lacon troglodytes Boheman, 1851 : 419. [Synonymized by Candéze, 1857 : 131.] 
Lacon nanus Boheman; Candéze, 1874 : 56. 
Adeloceva nanus (Boheman) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
Lacon nanus Boheman. LECTOTYPE (present designation). SouTH AFRICA: 
3, Caffraria; J. Wahlb.; Type; nanus [Boh.] (NR, Stockholm). 
The published locality is ‘Habitat in terra Natalensi’. The localities of Boheman’s 
material are discussed on p. 280. The specimen agrees with the description though 
it is slightly larger in size, measuring 3:7 mm in length and 1-5 mm in width 
compared with Boheman’s measurements of 34 and I mm. 
Lacon troglodytes Boheman. LECTOTYPE (present designation). SouTH 
AFRrica: 9, Caffraria; J. Wahlb; troglodytes Bhm. Ins. Caffr. [Boh.] (NR, Stockholm). 
The published locality is ‘Habitat in tractibus fluvii Gariepis’. The localities 
of Boheman’s material are discussed on p. 280. The specimen agrees reasonably 
well with the description though it is slightly larger, measuring 4mm in length 
and I-5mm in width compared with Boheman’s measurements of 3?mm and 
Ii; mm. 
I believe these specimens are the male and female of the same species and that 
Candéze was fully justified in placing them in synonymy. Candéze used the name 
nanus although troglodytes has page-precedence. However his action, as first 
reviser, must be accepted. 
Other material examined. SoutH Arrica: Zululand, 49 (BMNH). One specimen 
bears Candéze’s determination label ‘nanus’ and is probably the ‘jolie varietie’ of 
Candéze (1874 : 56). 
Adelocera nebulosa (Candéze) comb. rev. 
Lacon nebulosus Candéze, 1857 : 115. 
Lacon nebulosus Candéze; Candéze, 1874 : 84. 
Adelocera nebulosus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
Brachylacon nebulosus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1942 : 3. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). CEYLON: g, Ceylon; Janson coll. 1903 : 130; 
Lacon nebulosus Cdz. Ceylon [Cand.]; Lacon nebulosus Cdze. (ex coll. Cand.) 
[Janson] (BMNH). 
Paralectotype. CEYLON: g, Ceylon; Janson coll. 1903.130; Lacon nebulosus 
(ex coll. Cand.) [Janson] (BMNH). 
The published locality is ‘les regions orientales et boreales de |’Inde’. I have 
not found any specimens bearing these localities. Candéze (1874: 84) records 
the locality as ‘Hindoustan; Ceylon’ which in my opinion justifies the lectotype 
designation.
