Agrypnus parallelus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon parallelus Candéze, 1874 : 90. 
Lacon parallelus (Candéze) ; Neboiss, 1956 : 11. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from Queensland. 
Neboiss (loc. cit) states that the type is in the BMNH, but the date of publication 
(see p. 271) suggests that the type-material should be in the IRSNB, Brussels. 
Selection of a lectotype is postponed until any material in that collection has 
been examined. 
Generic attribution based on the following specimen, possibly a syntype; 
AUSTRALIA: g, N. Holl. C. Cdze.; Janson coll. ex Candéze, 1903.130; Lacon 
parallelus Cdz. n.sp. N. Austr. Th. [Cand.] Lacon parallelus Cand. type [Gahan] 
(BMNH). 
Agrypnus parcus (Schwarz) comb. n. 
Tilotarsus [sic] parcus Schwarz, 1903a : 338. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from MADAGASCAR. 
Type-material: ?>DEI, Eberswalde. 
The generic attribution is based on the description. 
Agrypnus parviceps (Gyllenhal) comb. n. 
Elater parviceps Gyllenhal in Schoenherr, 1817 : 133. 
Lacon parviceps (Schoenherr) Germar, 1840 : 263. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). SIERRA LEONE: g, S. Leone, Afzelius 
(NR, Stockholm). The specimen lacks a determination label but as far as is 
known the specimen has always stood and been regarded as the type of parviceps 
Gyllenhal. The species is not listed in Schenkling (1925). 
GERMAR’S INTERPRETATION OF Elater parviceps GYLLENHAL. Germar comments 
that Elater parviceps Schénh. [sic] appears to be related to Lacon terrenus. 
Whether he based his interpretation on the description or on determined specimens 
is unknown, but examination of the material in the NR, Stockholm has shown 
that he was justified in his belief. A. parviceps (Gyllenhal) differs from terrenus 
Germar (=crenatus Klug) in that the fourth tarsal segments are lobed. 
Agrypnus parvus (Fleutiaux) comb. n. 
Centrostethus paruvus Fleutiaux, 19346 : 61. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MApAGAscAR: 4, Madagascar, Perinet,
