RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 41 
The BMNH possesses a male from Rangoon with Candéze label ‘nebulosus 
affinis’. This is probably the specimen tentatively attributed to the species by 
Candéze (1874). It is not conspecific with the lectotype. Candéze (1892c : 485) 
records this species as being ‘rare’ in Chota Nagpore. I have not seen any specimens 
from this locality. 
Other material examined. INnpIA: South Shan States, road 40m East of 
Taunggyi, 25.ix—-13.x.34, I 9; Tenasserim, Mekane, 90km East of Moulmein, 
200m, 2-8.xi.34, I 2 (NR, Stockholm), 1 2 (MNHN, Paris). Fleutiaux, 1942, 
localities. 
Adelocera niger (Schwarz) comb. n. 
Pericus niger Schwarz, 1902f : 307. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). Burma: g, Rangoon; Coll. Schwarz; 
co-typus, niger Schwarz [Schwarz]; genus Brachylacon, Fleutiaux det., 5.33. 
[Fleut.] (DEI, Eberswalde). 
Paralectotype. Burma: I jg, Rangoon; Coll. Schwarz, co-typus (DEI, 
Eberswalde). 
Schwarz’s series usually include a specimen bearing a type-label, but I have 
not found a specimen of this species marked in this way. By analogy with 
specimens of similar appearance such as nitidus Candéze it seems probable that 
when a series including both sexes becomes available niger Schwarz will be found 
to be the male of twrgescens Candéze. 
Adelocera nitidus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Pevicus nitidus Candéze, 1857 : 167; pl. 2, fig. 20. 
Pericus sanguinolentus Candéze, 1893c : 172. Syn. n. 
Pericus nitidus Candéze. LECTOTYPE (present designation). [Nortu INp1a]: 
9, N. India [Janson]; Ind. bor.; Janson Coll. 1903.130; Pericus nitidus Cdze, type, 
ex. coll. de Laferté [Janson]; Pericus nitidus [Cand., stuck on underside of Janson’s 
label] (BMNH). 
The description was based on two specimens from ‘des parties septentrionales 
des Indes Orientales’ (see p. 271), one in the de la Ferté and the other in the Deyrolle 
collection. The paralectotype has not been located. I have been unable to find 
any specimens with labels corresponding to the published type-locality. The 
discrepancy between the published locality and that on the label is probably due 
to Janson (see p. 276). 
Pericus sanguinolentus Candéze. Holotype. Inp1A: 3, Belgaum S., sanguino- 
lentus Cand., n.sp. 1893, Bombay, And. [Cand.]; Type: Collection Candéze (IRSNB, 
| Brussels). The published type locality and date is Belgaum, Sampgaon, Avril. 
The synonymy is based on the examination of a series in the BMNH from 
Chipurupali [Chipurupalle, 17°34’N., 33°10’E.], comprising both males and females. 
The species displays marked sexual dimorphism. The female is larger than the
