RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 223 
coll. 1903.130; transversus [Cand.] Lacon transversus Cdze. Cand. Type e coll. 
de Laferté [Janson] (BMNH). 
The description is based on material from ‘Indes-orientales’ (see p. 271) in the 
de la Ferté and Deyrolle collections. I have been unable to locate the specimens 
from the Deyrolle collection. 
Agrypnus tripartitus (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon tripartitus Candéze, 1874 : 54. 
Adelocera tripartitus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). MapaGaAscar: 9, Lacon n.sp. [Janson]; 
tripartitus Cdz [Cand.] Lacon tripartitus type Cand. [Gahan] (BMNH). 
Agrypnus truncatus (Herbst) comb. n. 
Elater truncatus Herbst, 1806 : 95; pl. 166, fig. 2. 
Lacon cylindricus Candéze, 1857 : 121. [Synonymized by Candéze, 18gIc : 20.] 
[Lacon melancholicus Candéze; Candéze, 1892 : 484. Misidentification. } 
A deloceva truncatus (Candéze) Fleutiaux, 1926 : 96. 
Elater truncatus Herbst. LECTOTYPE (present designation). ¢, Hbst.; 
16121 [MNHU, Berlin, museum catalogue number, refers to information on following 
label]; India or. Westerm.; truncatus n. Elat. truncatus Hbst., cylindricus Cand., 
Ind. or. Hbst. [Gerstaecker, yellow paper] (NMHU, Berlin). 
Paratypes. 2,19, India or. Westerm. No. 16121 (NMHU, Berlin). 
Lacon cylindricus Candéze. LECTOTYPE (present designation). g, Laf. 
N. India, Bacon [Janson]; Janson coll. 1903.130; 42; Lacon cylindricus Cdze, 
Cand., e coll. de Laferté [ Janson] (BMNH). 
Paralectotype J, labels as lectotype, but bearing the number 43 (BMNH). 
The published locality is ‘des Indes-orientales’, (see p. 271). Janson (see 
p. 276) is probably responsible for the discrepancy between the published locality 
and the labels and also for the absence of Candéze’s determination label. 
Schenkling (1925 : 27) lists jurulosus Candéze as a synonym of truncatus Herbst 
but gives no reason for doing so. I have been unable to trace the type-material 
of jurulosus (see p. 172). 
Other material examined. Inp1A: Barwai, Chota Nagpore, 1892, 19. Nagpore, 
Io 2 (IRSNB, Brussels). None of the specimens bear Candéze’s determination 
label but all carry the IRSNB curatorial label ‘Lacon melancholicus Cd.’. They 
are probably the specimens recorded by Candéze (1892 : 484). 
Agrypnus truquii (Candéze) comb. n. 
Lacon truquit Candéze, 1874 : 101. 
Pyrganus truquii (Candéze) Golbach, 1968 : 198.
