RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 275 
Fairmaire, Léon (1820-1906). Fairmaire appears to have disposed of parts of 
his collection during his lifetime. Candéze acquired a collection of exotic 
Elateridae in 1894 (now in the IRSNB, Brussels) and Fleutiaux acquired a 
second collection of exotic and American specimens (now in the MNHN, Paris). 
The collection in his possession at the time of his death is in the MNHN, Paris. 
Fea, Leonardo (1852-1903). Explorer and naturalist. The main part of his 
collection is in the MCSN, Genoa. Duplicates were acquired by other museums 
and private collectors. An account of his travels in Burma will be found 
in Fea (1896). Candéze (1891 : 771) records a number of species from Carin 
Cheba collected by Fea. He describes the locality as ‘Les montagnes des 
Carin, a une cinquantaine des lieues au nord du Rangoon et a une hauteur 
de 900 a 1500 metres.’ This is presumably the district of Burma now known 
as Karen. 
Fleutiaux, Edmond (1858-1951). At his death his large and valuable collection 
was acquired by the MNHN, Paris. It contains specimens from many other 
collections. In most cases these are easily recognizable, as Fleutiaux retained 
all original labels and often added his own to indicate the provenance of a 
specimen. The collection also contains notes on type-material in other collec- 
tions. Fleutiaux did not generally record the number of specimens on which 
he based his description, nor did he designate types. However, he was in 
the habit of marking one specimen as the type, usually by writing the word 
‘type’ on the determination label. Wherever possible I have designated the 
specimen so marked as the lectotype. 
French, Charles (1840-1933). First collection via Lansberge and Oberthiir to 
the MNHN, Paris. Second collection to Neervoort van de Poll (q.v.). Third 
collection to NMV, Melbourne. 
Germain, Philibert (1827-1913). Elateridae via Janson and Godman and Salvin 
to the BMNH. Some of his material was acquired by Oberthiir (q.v.) and 
the Museo Nacional, Santiago, Chile (not confirmed). 
Germar, Ernest Friedrich (1786-1853). Germar’s collection was broken up. 
The Curculionidae passed to the University Zoological Museum, Halle (now 
the Zoological Institute of the Martin Luther University, Halle Wittenburg). 
This is confirmed by Dr Husing, who adds that the collection does not contain 
any Elateridae. The remainder of the collection passed to his nephew, Dr H. 
Schaum. Schaum seems to have retained some of the Elateridae (see p. 280) 
but he appears to have disposed of material belonging to other families (see 
Horn & Kahle, 1936: 241) partly to the NMHU, Berlin and partly to the 
DEI, Eberswalde. 
Gerstaecker, Carl Edward (1828-1895). Curator at the MNHU, Berlin, until 
about 1876. He appears to have relabelled the Coleoptera collection, replacing 
many old labels including those of Klug, Herbst and Germar.
