RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE I31 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). NIGERIA: 9, Calabar; bidivisus Murr. 
Calab. [Candéze, blue border]; bidivisus Murr. [Cand.]; Lacon bidivisus Cd. det 
E. Candéze [IRSNB curatorial label]; Collection E. Candéze (IRSNB, Brussels). 
Murray did not describe a species of this name. Candéze based his description 
on an unrecorded number of specimens in the Murray collection. No specimens 
of this species have been found in the Janson collection in the BMNH (see note on 
Murray collection, p. 279). It would appear that in this case Candéze retained the 
material submitted to him for determination. 
The metasternum is greatly reduced in length and wings appear to be entirely 
absent. The fourth tarsal segment is lobed.

Northern Territory, Port Darwin (W. K. Hunt.) 
Syntype-material (see p. 274): SAM, Adelaide, AM, Sydney, NMV, Melbourne.
