Note. – The genus Compsolacon Reitter, 1905 was synonymized with Agrypnus Eschscholtz, 1829 by Hayek (1973). Prosvirov & Savitsky (2011) basing on the characteristics of aedeagus and bursa copulatrix considered Compsolacon Reitter, 1905 as a distinct and valid genus so to justify this new generic combination.
