Sumatra, presumably with Candéze’s determination label (RNH, Leiden). Not 
examined. 
Since Van Zwaluwenburg does not record the data on the second specimen it 
is impossible to determine whether it formed part of the syntype-series. 
Confirmation of Arnett’s generic attribution is based on the description. 
Lanelater rufipes (Candéze) 
Agrypnus rufipes Candéze, 1874 : 7. 
Lanelater rufipes (Candéze) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). Inp1A: 9, Pondicherty; Janson coll. 1903. 
130; A. rufipes Cdz. n.sp. [Cand.]; Agrypnus rufipes Cdz., type [Janson] (BMNH). 
Lanelater rufus (Candéze) 
Agrypnus rufus Candéze, 1857 : 32. 
Lanelater rufus (Candéze) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). 9, type; Cayenne, typ.; Collection Chevrolat; 
rufus Cand., type mon. [Fleut.]. The specimen stands over a green Chevrolat 
label: Agrypnus rufus (Chev.) Candéze type. Mon. 1, p. 32. 13. Cayenne, Coll. 
Chevrolat (MNHN, Paris). 
The published locality is ‘Guyane’ but Candéze (1874: 6) states that this is 
erroneous and that rufus is an African species. It has been recorded as an African 
species in subsequent catalogues (Candéze, 1891: 10, Schenkling, 1925: 7) but 
there are no published records of its capture in Africa. 
Lanelater sallei (LeConte) 
Agrypnus sallet LeConte, 1853 : 491. 
Lanelater sallei (LeConte) Arnett, 1952 : 105. 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens with a size- 
range of 0-85-1-10 [inches = 21-7—28-:2 mm.] collected near New Orleans [U.S.A., 
Louisiana] by Sallé and given to LeConte by Guex and specimens subsequently 
collected by Schott at Eagle Pass [Texas] on the Lower Rio Grande. 
LECTOTYPE (present designation). U.S.A.: 3, brick red paper disk [Southern 
States, see p. 277]; Type, 2373 [MCZ curatorial label]; Agrypnus sallei Lec. [LeC.] 
(MCZ, Harvard). Length: 24-8 mm. 
Paralectotypes: I 3, dark red paper disk [Texas, see p. 277]; sallei 3 [MCZ cura- 
torial label]. Length: 21:8mm. 1 4, dark red paper disk [Texas]; sallei 4 [MCZ 
curatorial label]. Length: 27-7 mm. (MCZ, Harvard). It is by no means certain 
that these two specimens were in fact collected by Schott at Eagle Pass but since 
they are the only specimens from Texas in the LeConte collection there is no 
alternative but to accept them as part of LeConte’s syntype series. The two
