Cdz. [Cand.]; Agrypnus attenuatus Cdze, Cand. [Janson]. 1 4, 1 9, same data 
but without Candéze’s determination labels (BMNH). 
The published locality is “Guinée [see Elasmosomus cornutus (Candéze) p. 103] 
bouches du Niger.’ The discrepancy between the published locality and that on 
the labels probably arose when Janson relabelled the specimens. 
Lanelater attonitus (Candéze) 
Agrypnus attonitus Candéze, 1874 : Io. 
Lanelatey attonitus (Candéze) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). InpD1A: 9, India; Janson coll. 1903.130; 
A. attonitus type [Cand.]; Agrypnus attonitus Cdze, type [Janson] (BMNH). 
Candéze comments that though labelled ‘India’ he believes that the species 
comes from the Malayan peninsula (‘presqu’ile Hindoue’). As there are no 
additional records of the species this has not been confirmed. 
Lanelater australis (Candéze) 
Agrypnus australis Candéze, 1874 : 5. 
Lanelater australis (Candéze) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). Botswana: 92, Lake N’Gami; Janson 
coll. 1903.130; A. australis Cdz., type L. N’Gami [Cand.]; Agrypnus australis 
Cdze, type ex coll. Castelnau [Janson] (BMNH). 
Lanelater babaulti (Fleutiaux) 
Agrypnus babaulti Fleutiaux, 1918c : 168. 
Lanelater babaulti (Fleutiaux) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
The original description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens, with 
a size-range of 26-27 mm, collected by Babault in E. Africa. Three years later 
Fleutiaux (1921: 5) published a slightly expanded description of babault1 and 
recorded two specimens collected by Babault in the Kedong Valley. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). KrNnya: J, Kedong Valley (B.E.A.); 
G. B. Mars 1913; Agrypnus babaulti Fleut., cotype, 1918 [Fleut.]; infuscatus KI. 
comparé au type, Mus. Berlin [Fleut.] (MNHN, Paris). 
Paralectotype. 1 9, Kedong Valley (B.E.A.); G. B. Mars, 1913; Agrypnus 
babaulti Fleut., Type, 1918 [Fleut.]; Esp. fig. (MNHN, Paris). Aedeagus missing. 
The specimen labelled as the type by Fleutiaux has not been selected as the 
lectotype because the aedeagus is missing. 
The Kedong Valley is about 35 miles east of Nairobi. 
Fleutiaux did not publish the synonymy with infuscatus Klug. The two species 
are not synonymous.
