RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 225 
the Berlin Natural History Museum. However the two specimens in the NMHU, 
Berlin standing beside Gerstaecker’s blue label ‘turbidus Germ. Cand. Madag. 
Goud.’ are 18 mm and 19 mm long compared with the published length of 7 lines 
(815mm). The discrepancy in the length and the fact that the specimens came 
from Goudot makes it impossible to accept them as part of the syntype-series. 
The specimens are conspecific with the lectotype. The DEI, Eberswalde does not 
possess any specimens determined by Germar. For the history of the Germar 
collection see p. 275.
