Tilotarsus nubilus Cdz. Gaboon Deyr. [Cand.]; Tylotarsus nubilus Cdze., ex coll. 
Candéze [ Janson] (BMNH). 
I have not found any specimens from Guinea and Benguela, the other two 
localities recorded by Candéze. 
Agrypnus oberndorferi (Schwarz) comb. n. 
Lacon oberndorfert Schwarz, 19020 : 197. 
Adelocera oberndorfevi (Schwarz) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
The description is based on a holotype from Mapras, Dindigul submitted by 
Obernderfer. This specimen cannot be found in the Schwarz collection in the 
DEI, Eberswalde. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen; BuRMA: 9, Rangoon; 
coll. Schwarz; oberndorferi Schw. [Schwarz] (DEI, Eberswalde). The specimen 
is 7mm long compared with the published length of 9 mm. 
Agrypnus obscurus (Fleutiaux) comb. n. 
Adeloceva (Archontas) obscura Fleutiaux, 1934) : 51. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MADAGASCAR: 9, Madagascar, Lamberton, 
obscura Fleut., type [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
The published locality is Madagascar (Lamberton). 
Agrypnus octavus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon octavus Candéze, 1874 : 95. 
Adeloceva (Compsolacon) octava (Candéze) Van Zwaluwenburg, 1959 : 354. 
Lectotype (designated by Van Zwaluwenburg, 1959: 354, see p. Q). 
AUSTRALIA: 2, N. H. Holl. C. Cdze.; Janson coll. ex Candéze, 1903.130; Lacon 
octavus Cdz. n.sp. N. Austr. Th. [Cand.]; Lacon octavus Cand. type, Queensland 
[Gahan] (BMNH). 
Candéze comments that in shape this species resembles Myrmodes [akidiformis 
Candéze]. In both species the metathorax is much reduced in length and the 
wings no more than minute flaps. The main difference is that in the Myrmodes 
species the humera are less strongly angled. 
Agrypnus orientalis Hope 
Agrypnus orientalis Hope, 1843 : 63. 
Both Candéze (1891) and the Schenkling Catalogue (1925) record the date of 
publication of orientalis as 1845. However a shorter form of Hope’s 1845 paper 
appeared (see Wheeler, 1912) in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society
