specimens but the shape of the aedeagus shown in the figure suggests that these 
specimens may not be congeneric with the generally accepted interpretation of 
binodulus represented by the material in the BMNH and MNHN, Paris. 
The date of the description of binodulus is generally recorded as 1860, the date 
on the title-page. Griffin (1936) is of the opinion that the work did not appear 
until 1861 and in view of the fact that the introduction on p. 4 bears the date 
‘r Nov. 1860’ Griffin’s dating has been accepted.

Agrypnus bipunctatus (Schwarz) is a junior secondary homonym of Agrypnus 
bipunctatus Candéze, 1857 (= Lanelater bipunctatus (Candéze) Arnett, 1952) but 
since the two species are not congeneric the junior name does not require replace- |
