254 Cc. M. F. von HAYEK 
Paralectotype: 3, Deyr.; Janson coll. 1903.130; Agrypnus punctatus Cdze, C and. 
(e coll. Dyrolle) [Janson]; D. Hope (BMNH). 
The absence of Candéze’s determination label is probably due to Janson (see 
p. 276). Not asynonym of aequalis as stated by Fleutiaux (1889 : 138). 
Agrypnus sondaicus Candéze. Holotype. JAvA: 9, Dej. Java; Janson coll. 
1903.130; sondaicus [Cand.]. Agrypnus sondaicus (Dej. cat.) Cdze, Cand. type 
(e coll. Dejean) [Janson] (BMNH). 
Not a synonym of aequalis as stated by Fleutiaux (1923 : 409). 
Agrypnus moestus Candéze. LECTOTYPE (present designation). InpIA: 4, 
Dej. India; Janson coll. 1903.130; Agrypnus moestus Cdze. A socius Dej. coll. 
(e coll. Dejean) [Janson] (BMNH). Length: 25 mm. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from ‘Des Indes 
Orientales’ (see p. 271). Candéze lists Agrypnus socius Dej. Coll. [nomen nudum] 
as a synonym. Despite the absence of Candéze’s determination label I believe 
that this specimen formed part of the series on which he based his description. 
The absence of Candéze’s determination label and the discrepancy between the 
published locality and that on the label are probably due to Janson (see p. 276). 
L. moestus (Candéze) is not conspecific with L. aequalis (Candéze) as recorded 
by Fleutiaux (1889: 138) nor is the synonymy (Fleutiaux, 1926: 93) with 
L. funestus (Candéze) correct. 
Fleutiaux (1935 : 194) records luridus from Ethiopia, Bourillé, Kenya, Lokitang 
and also Arabia, Somaliland, Abyssinia, Uganda and Tanganyika. The MNHN, 
Paris contains the following specimens standing as Juridus in the collection: 2 J, 
7 © Bourie [sic, see p. 260], 1 g, Lokitang, 1 3, Abyssinie, Harar, 1 g, Unguru 
D.O.A. [=Tanganyika]. None of these specimens is conspecific with the type 
of luridus and all belong to an unnamed African species. It seems probable that 
luridus does not occur in Africa and that the distribution of this species is limited 
to India and Ceylon. 
Agrypnus giluus Candéze. The description is based on an unrecorded number 
of specimens from S1AM and CAMBODIA received from de Castelnau. 
Type-material: not found in the BMNH or the IRSNB, Brussels or Castelnau 
collection, NMV, Melbourne. Interpretation of the species is based on the following 
specimen. 4, Malacca; Janson coll. 1903 : 130; Agrypnus gilvus Cdz. Malacca 
[Cand.]; moestus [Cand.] 1874 [Janson] Agrypnus gilvus 1864, A. moestus Cdze. 
1874 ex coll. Candéze [Janson] (BMNH). This is the only specimen with Candéze’s 
determination label known to me. Not a synonym of aequalis as stated by 
Candéze (1874 : Io). 
Lanelater maculicollis (Gerstaecker) 
Agrypnus maculicollis Gerstaecker, 1871 : 53. 
Lanelater maculicollis (Gerstaecker) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens with a size- 
range of 22-25mm from ZANZIBAR collected by van der Decken. Candéze
