RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 257 
collection of Prof. Ciafalo from whom he received six specimens. The Ragusa 
collection was broken up (Horn & Kahle, 1936: 218) and it is therefore possible 
that the following specimens are part of the original syntype-series. 
Material examined; 1 3, himerensis Rag. Sicil.; Museum Paris, Collection Leon 
Fairmaire 1906. 1 9, Type, Sicile, Ragusa; Museum Paris, Coll. L. Bedel 1922; 
himerensis Rag. 1 9, Sicile, Termini, E. Ragusa; Termini; Agrypnus himerensis; 
himerensis Rag. [Fleut] (MNHN, Paris). The handwriting on the determination 
labels is unknown and appears to be different in each case. 
Schenkling (1925 : 4) records the following species as a synonym of notodonta 
Latreille. 
Elater fuscipes Olivier, 1790; no. 31, p. 20; pl. 3, fig. 21. The description is 
based on an unrecorded number of specimens from ‘Cap de Bonne-Esperance’ 
S. Africa. Fleutiaux (1911 : 475) synonymized fuscipes with notodonta, commenting 
that Olivier’s type is in his collection. However the male in the Fleutiaux collec- 
tion in the MNHN, Paris labelled ‘fuscipes Ol. non Fab., type d’Olivier’ by Fleutiaux 
bears the locality SENEGAL. It is notodonta Latreille. L. notodonta has not been 
recorded from S. Africa. Agvypnus antennatus Candéze (= L. infuscatus (Klug)), 
and L. peringueyr Candéze are the only Lanelater species recorded from S. Africa.
