Lacon scutellatus Fairmaire, 1903 : 202. [Junior primary homonym of Lacon scutellatus 
Candéze, 1893.] 
Adeloceva hova Fleutiaux, 1926: 99. [Replacement name for Lacon scutellatus Fairmaire. | 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MADAGASCAR: 3, Madag. Perrier [Fairm.]; 
Museum Paris, coll. Perrier de la Bathie 1906; type; Lacon [Fleut.] scutellatus 
[Fairm.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotypes. 1 ex., Madag. Perrier [Fairm.]; Museum Paris, coll. Perrier 
de la Bathie 1906; scutellata Fairm. ex typ. [Fleut.]; hova Fleut., scutellatus Fairm. 
nec Cand. [Fleut.] 1 ex., locality and collection labels as lectotype. 4 ex., locality 
label as lectotype. The last five paralectotypes lack determination labels. 
(MNHN, Paris). 
The published locality is: Environs de Suberbieville (H. Perrier). 
Agrypnus humilis (Erichson) comb. n. 
Lacon humilis Erichson, 1842 : 136. 
Lacon humilis Erichson; Neboiss, 1956 : 9. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). TASMANIA: 3g, Terra Van Diem. Schayer, 
Nr. 16139 [museum catalogue number, refers to locality on label]; humilis Er. + 
Cand. Van Dem. Schayer [Gerstaecker, mauve label] (MNHU, Berlin). 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens collected by 
Schayer at Woolnorth [40°39’S., 144°43’E.], Tasmania and sent to the MNHU, 
Berlin (Germar, 1842: 84). Candéze (1857: 184) states that he saw the single 
specimen of this species in that museum. The absence of Erichson’s label is 
probably due to Gerstaecker (see p. 275). 
Agrypnus hypnicola (Kishii) comb. n. 
Colaulon (Cryptolacon) hypnicola Kishii, 1964 : 33; pl. 1, figs 5, 6; pl. 3, fig. 9. 
The description is based on a holotype, allotype and 311 paratypes from six 
localities in JAPAN. Two paratypes are in the T. Shubata collection, but the 
location of the remainder is not recorded. They are probably in the author’s 
collection, and that of the Heinan High School, Kyoto. As the author records 
the data on each specimen there should be no difficulty in recognizing the material. 
The generic attribution is based on the description.
