RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 209 
Agrypnus scrofilia (Ohira) comb. n. 
Colaulon (Cryplolacon) scrofilia Ohira, 19696 : 43. 
Holotype. JAPAN: gj, Oshima Is. 28-III. 1952. H. Ohira. Ohira collection. 
Paratypes. 24,39, ibidem. Ohira collection. 
The generic attribution is based on the description. 
Agrypnus sculptus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon sculptus Candéze, 1874 : 95. 
Lacon sculptus Candéze; Neboiss, 1956 : 12. 
The description is based on many specimens from the Paroo and Darling Rivers 
obtained from de Castelnau. 
Type-material: ?IRSBN, Brussels. 
The generic attribution based on the following specimens, AUSTRALIA (N.S.W.): 
2 3, 3 2, 2 ex, (?sex, abdomen missing), N. Holl. Paroo; Janson coll. 1903.130. 
One specimen bears Gahan’s determination label ‘sculptus Cand.’. These specimens 
may be part of the syntype series. 
Agrypnus scutellaris (Candéze) 
Lacon scutellaris Candéze, 18936 : 9. 
Agrypnus scutellaris (Candéze) Nakane & Kishii, 1955 : 4. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from southern 
Japan, Liu-Kiu archipelago: Oshima. 
Type-material: ?IRSNB, Brussels. 
Candéze states that the species bears a resemblance to binodulus and murinus, 
which suggests that Nakane and Kishii’s generic attribution is fully justified. 
I have been unable to find the specimens from Yokohama and the other localities 
recorded by Lewis (1896 : 336). 
Agrypnus scutellatus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon scutellatus Candéze, 1857 : III. 
Archontas scutellatus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1947 : 283. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from ‘Des Indes — 
Orientales [see p. 271] et de Java’, which Candéze received from de la Ferté Sénectére, 
Mniszech and Deyrolle. 
Syntype examined. JAvA: 9, Laf. Java; Janson coll. 1903.130; scutellatus 
[Cand.]; Lacon scutellatus Cdze. Cand. Type e coll. de Laferté [Janson] (BMNH). 
In this specimen the propleural groove mentioned in the description is very indistinct. 
I have been unable to trace the specimens from the Deyrolle and Mniszech collec- 
tions. If Candéze retained them they should be in the BMNH or possibly the
