LECTOTYPE (present designation). East Arrica, location unknown: 4, 
McArthur, Thua R., Nov. 33; Agrypnus acuminatus Fleut., type [Fleut.] (MNHN, 
Paris). 
The locality Thua River does not appear in any gazetteer known to me. The 
BMNH collection contains specimens, believed to be conspecific with the lectotype, 
from KrEnyA, Turkana.

mination label is unknown.

The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens collected in the 
Seychelles [no detailed locality given] by R. P. Phillibert and submitted by M. G. 
Fallou. Fleutiaux (1923: 409) states that the type is in the IRSNB, Brussels, 
but as he provides no means of identifying the specimen his statement cannot be 
accepted as a valid lectotype designation. 
The MNHN, Paris contains a number of specimens with a printed locality label: 
Iles Seychelles, La Digue, Ch. Alluaud, 1892. Several bear Fleutiaux’s determina- 
tion labels; Agrypnus insularis Fairm. ex type. However if the specimens were 
collected by Alluaud in 1892 they cannot have formed part of the original series.
