Candéze based his description on four specimens. I have been unable to trace 
the remaining two paralectotypes. 
Candéze (1892 : 484) recorded this species as rare in Konbir, but found in large 
numbers at Barwai. The IRSNB, Brussels collection contains a single female 
labelled Barwai, Chota Nagpore, 1892 and 10 females from Nagpore with IRSNB 
curatorial labels Lacon melancholicus Cd. det. E. Candéze. These specimens 
are not conspecific with the lectotype. They are all Agrypnus truncatus (Candéze), 
See p. 223). 
Agrypnus meridionalis (Fleutiaux) comb. n. 
Adelocera (Archontas) meridionalis Fleutiaux, 19346 : 58. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MapaAGAscar: 9, Madagascar, Reg. Sud 
de l’Isle; Ihosy, 2.33, A. Seyrig; meridionalis Fleut. type [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotypes. II ex., with the same locality labels as the lectotype (MNHN, 
Paris). 1 9, Madagascar; Ihosy; Adelocera (Lacon) meridionalis Fleut. [Fleut.] 
(BMNH). 
Agrypnus minimus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon minimus Candéze, 1895 : 57. 
Adelocera minimus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
Holotype. Mapacascar: g, Madagascar, Diego Suarez, Ch. Alluaud; Museum 
Paris, Madagascar, Coll. Ch. Alluaud 1904; L. minimus n.sp. Cand. det. [Cand.] 
(MNHN, Paris). 
Agrypnus minor (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon minor Candéze, 1857 : 126. 
Adeloceva minoy (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MApaAGAScAR: ¢, Madagascar; Janson 
coll. ex Candéze 1903.130; Lacon minor Cdz. Mad. [Cand.] (BMNH). 
Paralectotypes. 2 3, 1 9, Dej. Madagascar; Janson coll. 1903.130; Lacon minor 
Cand. e coll. Dejean [Janson]. One specimen bears the word ‘Type’ on Janson’s 
determination label (BMNH). 
Candéze comments that there is material belonging to this species standing 
as pumilo KI]. (in litt.) in the ZMHU, Berlin, and as gibbicollis (in litt.) in the 
Chevrolat collection (MNHN, Paris). I have not examined these specimens. 
Agrypnus minutus (Schwarz) comb. n. 
Lobotarsus minutus Schwarz, 18984 : 133. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens collected in 
KAMERUN by Conrad and submitted by Kraatz.
