RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 7p 
Lacon mamillatus (Candéze) 
Adelocera mamillata, Candéze, 1865 : 7. 
Lacon (Aulacon) mamillata (Candéze); Golbach, 1969b : 157. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). FRENCH GUIANA: Q, Bar. Cayenne, 
Adelocera mamillata Cdze, type (El. n.) (e coll. de Mniszech) (BMNH). The absence 
of Candéze’s determination label is probably due to Janson (see p. 276). 
Lacon marmoratus (Fabricius) comb. rev. 
Elater marmorata Fabricius, 1801 : 227. 
Lacon marmorata (Fabricius) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 95. 
Diphyaulon marmorata (Fabricius) Arnett, 1969 : II. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). U.S.A.: 9, marmorata Fab. Caroline, 
Coll. Bosc [?Bosc on green paper] (NMHN, Paris). 
Fabricius records the location of the material as Mus. D. Bosc. Zimsen (1964 : 158 
No. 2629) records a specimen in the Kiel collection. This may be a syntype retained 
by Fabricius, or a subsequent addition to the collection (not examined). 
Lacon mausoni nom. n. 
Adelocera sanguinea Fleutiaux, 1908 : 164. 
Sulcilacon sanguineus (Fleutiaux) Fleutiaux, 1941c : 48. 
Lacon sanguineus (Fleutiaux) comb. n. [Secondary junior homonym of Lacon sanguineus 
(Candéze, 1863.)] 
LECTOTYPE (present designation) N. VietNam: 9, Tonkin, Monts Mauson, 
Avril-Mai, 2—3000 H. Fruhstorfer; Adelocera sanguinea Fleut., type [Fleut] Bull 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 1908, p. 164 [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Lacon mexicanus (Candéze)

Aulacon mexicanus (Candéze) Arnett, 1969 (March) : 11.

Mexico, D. Gehin, Coll. Chevrolat [Chevrolat] (MNHN, Paris). 
Van Dyke (1943 : 44) records that he examined Candéze’s type in the IRSNB, 
Brussels in 1932. This is presumably Candéze’s second specimen which was 
submitted by Mniszech (not examined). Van Dyke was mistaken in his belief 
that nobilis Candéze (see p. 72) is a synonym of mexicanus.

Agrypnus nigroplagiatus Blanchard, 1853: 85; pl. 6, fig. 7. [Synonymized by Candéze,
