RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 161 
Agrypnus granulatus (MacLeay) comb. n. 
Lacon granulatus MacLeay, 1872 : 251. 
Lacon granulatus (MacLeay); Neboiss, 1956 : 8. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from Gayndah 
(Australia, Queensland) collected by Mr Masters. Neboiss states that the type is 
in the AM, Sydney, but since he publishes no details concerning the specimen, his 
statement cannot be accepted as a lectotype designation. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: AUSTRALIA: 4, 
Gayndah, Queensland, Masters; Lacon granulatus McLeay [? MacLeay] (MNHN, 
Paris). This specimen is almost certainly a syntype, presumably acquired by the 
MNHN, Paris as a gift or by exchange. 
Agrypnus griseopilosa (Fleutiaux) comb. n. 
Adeloceva (Archontas) griseopilosa Fleutiaux, 19324 : 49. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MaApacascar: 9, Diego Suarez; Type; 
griseopilosa Fleut., type [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotypes. 29,1, same locality but without determination labels (MNHN, 
Paris). 
The specimens from the second recorded locality, Monts de Francais, [S. E. of 
Diego-Suarez] have not been located. 
Agrypnus grisescens (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon grisescens Candéze, 1874 : 52. 
Adelocera grisescens (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MADAGASCAR: 3, Madagas.; Janson coll. 
ex Candéze, 1903.130; grisescens Cdz., type unique [Cand.]; Lacon grisescens 
Cand. type [Gahan] (BMNH). 
As the description was published after 1869 (see p. 271) one would expect to 
find the type-material in the IRSNB, Brussels. However the only specimen 
in that collection with Candéze’s determination label was collected on Nossi Be 
by Brandt and measures 14mm, compared with the published length of 12 mm. 
How this specimen came into Janson’s possession remains a mystery. 
Agrypnus guttatus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon guttatus Candéze, 1857 : 151. 
Lacon guttatus Candéze; Neboiss, 1956 : 8. 
Holotype. AUSTRALIA: 3, Melb. B.; 63.10 [BMNH registration number = 
G. R. Waterhouse collection, purchased of Stevens}; Lacon guttatus Cand. [Cand.]; 
Lacon guttatus Candéze, Type [C. O. Waterhouse] (BMNH).
