Agrypnus calamitosus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon calamitosus Candéze, 1874 : 100. 
Pyrganus calamitosus (Candéze) Golbach, 1968 : 108. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from Mexico: 
Oajaca [sic] in the Sallé collection. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: MExico: 2, Playa- 
Vincente; Mexico, Salle Coll; 3, B.C.A. Col. (1) Lacon calamitosus Cand. [Champ]; 
Lacon calamitosus Cand. Sallé coll. 1420 [unknown mss. the number refers to Sallé 
mss. Catalogue] (BMNH). 
Playa-Vincente is 110 km N.E. of Oaxaca. Champion (1895 : 266) regarded this 
specimen as the type, though he was aware of the discrepancy in the localities. 
The specimen is not recorded as a type in the Sallé mss. catalogue in the BMNH. 
Lectotype designation has been postponed until a search can be made for Candéze’s 
material in the IRSNB, Brussels.
