RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 229 
knowledge of the species was based on Klug’s description. Germar’s collection 
was broken up (see p. 275). Neither the DEI, Eberswalde nor the NMHU, Berlin 
contain specimens of vestitus Klug, petittt Dej. from ‘Cap’. The BMNH collection 
contains a male and female from the Schaum collection. The male, which lacks 
the abdomen, bears a small blue triangular label with the word ‘Mad.’ and a larger 
blue label with the words ‘vestitus Kl., petitti Dej. Madag.’ in a handwriting I 
believe to be that of Germar. The label also bears the words ‘Afr. mer.’ which 
have been crossed out. The female bears a small blue triangular label with the 
letters ‘Dp.’ probably standing for Dupont, and Candéze’s label ‘L. vestitus’. The 
specimens are conspecific with the lectotype. The male was used in the preparation 
of the table on p. 20. A. vestitus (Klug) has not been recorded from South Africa.
