RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 43 
Fleutiaux remarked that this is the only species in which the humeral callosity 
is carinate. However, he was mistaken: a similar carina occurs in Adelocera 
mucrocephalus Motschulsky. 
Adelocera parcus (Boheman) 
Lacon parcus Boheman, 1851 : 416.

Lacon parcus Boheman. LECTOTYPE (present designation). SOUTH AFRICA: 
Caffraria; J. Wahlb., Type: parcus Bhm. [Boh.] (NR, Stockholm). The abdomen 
is missing. 
The published locality is ‘Habitat in regione fluvii Limpopoensis’. Boheman’s 
localities are discussed on p. 280. The specimen measures 5°5 mm in length and 
2mm in width compared with Boheman’s measurements of 5 mm and 1} mm. 
Candéze (1857 : 161 as charcus, corrected 1874 : 59) comments that he did not 
find this species among the specimens he received from Stockholm. It would appear 
that the species remained unknown to Candéze, as in 1874: 45 it is listed as sf. 
incertae sedis at the end of the key. 
Lacon occidentalis Candéze. LECTOTYPE (present designation). SENEGAL: 
9, Senegal; occidentalis [Cand.]; Collection Chevrolat; occidentalis Cand., type 
Mon. p. 130 [Fleut.]; Fleut. Voy. All. et Jeann. Afr. Or. Elat. p. [Fleut.]. The 
specimen stands over a blue Chevrolat collection label ‘Lacon occidentalis Cand. 
Mon. 1, 130, 48 Senegalia’ (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotypes. SENEGAL: I 9, Laf. Senegal; occidentalis Cdz. [Cdz.]: Lacon 
occidentalis Cdz. Type, e. coll. de Laferté [Janson] (BMNH). 2 9, Laf. Senegal; 
Janson Coll., 1903 : 130; Lacon occidentalis Cdz. Cand. e. coll. de Laferté [Janson] 
(BMNH). 
Lacon signatus Candéze. LECTOTYPE (present designation). TANZANIA: Q, 
_ Zanguebar, Mhonda [in manuscript, next word illegible, probably Ouzigoua, see 
below] A. Hacquard, Miss. Ap. 1879 —1** trim. 1880; L. signatus [Cand.]; Museum 
| Paris 1952, Coll. R. Oberthur (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotypes. 9, without labels standing beside lectotype. TANZANIA: 2 9, 
| Zanguebar, Mhonda, Ouzigoua. A. Hacquard Mis. ap. 1879 1 trim. 1880; 
| [printed label], Museum Paris 1952, coll. R. Oberthur. One specimen bears a 
determination label: Lacon signatus Cdz. [Cand.] teste Candéze (MNHN, Paris). 
The two specimens with printed labels were not standing with the lectotype when 
they were discovered in the Oberthur collection, but there can be no doubt that 
they are part of the original series.
