Agrypnus argentatus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon argentatus Candéze, 18936 : 7. 
Adeloceva argentatus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from MADAGASCAR; 
Antananarivo. 
Syntype-material: ?>IRSNB, Brussels. 
Generic attribution based on Candéze’s comment that the species resembles a 
small twrbidus Germar (see p. 224). 
Agrypnus argillaceus (Solsky) comb. n. 
Lacon argillaceus Solsky, 1871 : 360. 
Archontas argillaceus (Solsky) Fleutiaux, 1947 : 280. 
The description was based on material collected in Vladivostock in July by 
R. Maak and acquired by Solsky. This material has not been located. 
The generic attribution is based on material under this name in the BMNH and 
MNHN, Paris. This material includes several different species bearing a close 
resemblance to one another.

Despite the fact that it bears the same labels as the lectotype of lezeleucii Candeze. 
I do not believe that the specimen recorded above labelled Jezeleucii Cand. by 
Janson is part of the original syntype series of that species. The specimen differs 
from the description of Jezeleucii in several ways including the appearance of the 
|scales, which are narrow and hair-like, and the posterior angles of the prothorax 
which are right-angled and sharp instead of turned outwards and truncate. The
