198 C. M. F. von HAYEK 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from Van 
Diemansland [Tasmania]. Candéze adds that he received the species from la 
Ferté Sénectére, determined as Agrypnus pictipennis Gory. The BMNH does 
not possess any specimens from Tasmania determined by Candéze. As Candéze 
(1874 : 93) records the locality as ‘Nouvelle Galles du sud et Victoria’ and as 
‘Austr. merid.’ in the catalogue (1891 : 25) it is possible that the originally published 
locality is erroneous. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). AUSTRALIA: 9, Laf. Tasmania [Janson]; 
pictipennis Gory, Nov. Holl. [? Laferté Sénectére]; Lacon pictipennis Cdze Cand. 
Type e coll. de Laferté [Janson]; Janson coll. 1903.130 (BMNH). The locality 
label ‘Tasmania’ was obviously added by Janson following Candéze’s original 
publication. The absence of Candéze’s determination label is almost certainly 
due to Janson.
