Agrypnus soleatus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Tilotarsus (sic) soleatus Candéze, 1857 : 176. 
Lobotarsus soleatus (Candéze) Schwarz, 1906 : 30. 
Holotype. GuINEA: 9, Tylotarsus soleatus mihi [Cand.]; Tilotarsus soleatus 
Cdze, type ex coll. de Laferté [Janson] (BMNH). 
Agrypnus soricinus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon sorvicinus Candéze, 1857 : 133; pl. 2, fig. 11. 
Adelocera sovicinus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MADAGASCAR: J, Laf. Madagascar; Janson 
collection 1903 : 130; Lacon soricinus Cand. type [Cand.]; Lacon soricinus Cdze, 
Cand., Type e coll. de Laferté [Janson] (BMNH). 
Agrypnus spinifer (Candéze) comb. n. 
Tilotarsus [sic] spinifer Candéze, 1889 : 74 (8). 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from MADAGAS- 
CAR. I would expect this material to be in the IRSNB, Brussels (see p. 273) but 
Fleutiaux (1899 : 222) comments that the specimen in the MNHN, Paris labelled 
Tilotarsus spinipes (see below) is probably the type, “spinipes’ being a lapsus calami. 
Examination of any material extant in the IRSNB, Brussels will show whether 
Fleutiaux was correct in his surmise. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: ?¢, (genitalia missing), 
MADAGASCAR, Sainte Marie Cloué, 1847 Museum Paris. Tylotarsus spinipes sp.n. 
89 [Cand.]; spinifer Elat. nouv. IV [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Agrypnus spissicollis (Candéze) comb. n. 
Tilotarsus [sic] spissicollis Candéze, 18936 : 12. 
Lobotarsus spissicollis (Candéze) Schenkling, 1925 : 39. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from 
Antananarivo [MADAGASCAR]. 
Type-material: ?IRSNB, Brussels. 
The generic attribution is based on the following specimen: 9, MADAGASCAR 
Miarinarivo; spissicollis Cand. comparé au type [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). The 
metasternum is much reduced and the wings entirely absent. 
Agrypnus squalescens (Fairmaire) comb. n. 
Tilotarsus [sic] squalescens Fairmiare, 1871 : 39. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens collected in 
MADAGASCAR by Ch. Coquerel.
