Agrypnus ellipticus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon ellipticus Candéze, 1857 : 135. 
Lacon propinquus Candéze, 1857 : 135. [Synonymized by Candéze, 1891 : 22.] 
Adelocera ellipticus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
Lacon ellipticus Candéze. The description is based on an unrecorded number 
of specimens from ‘Himalaya’ submitted by Schaum. The BMNH does not possess 
any specimens determined by Candéze, nor is the species recorded in the manuscript 
catalogue of the Schaum collection. I have been unable to locate the type-material. 
It has probably been lost (see history of the Schaum collection p. 280). 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: 1 3, Muree [INDIA. 
N. Punjab] determined by H. E. Andrewes (BMNH). 
Lacon propinquus Candéze. The description is based on an unrecorded number 
of specimens from ‘Indes Orientales’ (see p. 271) in the Schaum collection. I have 
been unable to trace this material (see history of the Schaum collection, p. 280). 
The synonymy is provisionally confirmed on the basis of a male from Rangoon, 
determined by Janson (BMNH).

Lacon conspiciendus Elston, 1927 : 353. [Junior secondary homonym of L. conspiciendus 
Elston, 1924 : 206.] 
Lacon elstoni Neboiss, 1956: 7. [Replacement name for L. conspiciendus Elston, 1927.] 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from QUEENS- 
LAND: Brisbane and NorTH-wEsT AUSTRALIA: Kimberley District (Dr E. Mjoberg). 
Type-material (see p. 274): SAM, Adelaide, AM, Sydney.
