160 Cc. M. F. von HAYEK 
Designation of the lectotype is postponed until a further search has been made 
for Candéze’s material. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: 9, MADAGASCAR: 
Janson coll. ex. Candéze, 1903.130; Lacon goudotii Cdz. Mad. [Cand.] (BMNH). 
Agrypnus gracilentus (Schwarz) comb. n. 
Lacon gracilentus Schwarz, 1902f : 306. 
Adelocera gracilentus (Schwarz) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens collected in the 
Salomo Is. (Tulagi) by R. v. Bennigsen. 
Syntype-material: ?DEI, Eberswalde. 
Generic attribution based on the following specimens: SOLOMON Is.: I ex., Salomon 
Is. Guadalcanal, Lavoro, H. T. Pagden, 16.11.34, Wild fig; Adelocera gracilenta 
(Schw.) [Van Z.] (BMNH). 
Agrypnus gracilis (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon gracilis Candéze, 1874 : 83. 
A deloceva (Compsolacon) gracilis (Candéze); Van Zwaluwenburg, 1966 : 289. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from ‘Gilolo, 
Batchian, Aru, Waigioe, Kai, Mysol, Nlle Guinée.’ etc. Although this species formed 
part of Candéze’s second collection (see p. 271), there can be no doubt that the 
specimens listed below are syntypes, presumably acquired by Janson. The rest 
of the material, which I have not seen, should be in the IRSNB, Brussels. 
Syntypes examined. INDONESIA: I 9, Wagiou; Janson coll., ex Candéze, 1903.130;
