Type specimens examined. Holotype of Agnioides striatopunctatus Breuning, 1956 , male ( Figs 1a–c ), British Bootang, Maria Basti (MHNL= CCEC, examined through images). Holotype of Paragniopsis ochraceomaculata Breuning, 1965 , female, Laos, region de Vientiane, Phou Khao Khoay , 1963.VIII, leg. J. A. Rondon ( BPBM 8628 , ex Collection J. A. Rondon, examined through images).

Other specimens examined. China: 1 male 1 female, Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Damenglong , 1958. IV.24 ( IZAS).

Remarks. The type locality of Agnioides striatopunctatus Breuning, 1956 , British Bootang was often misrepresented as Bhutan ( Pu, 1991). However, British Bootang is in fact located in West-Bengal, India ( Lin, 2012), while Maria Basti is now Kalimpang environs. This species has not been recorded from Bhutan. The holotype of Paragniopsis ochraceomaculata Breuning, 1965 , was misidentified as a male ( Breuning, 1965). However, it is a female, which can be identified based on the shorter antennae with the sixth antennomere not extending to the elytral apex, while in males the sixth antennomere distinctly extends beyond the elytral apex. These two holotypes represent a male and female of the same species and therefore the synonym is confirmed.
