Candèze (1865) did not provide the number of the type specimens. Candèze (1865) mentioned that “Elle a été découverte et apportée récemment en Europe par M. de Castelnau. Je l’ai vue dans sa collection, ainsi que dans celle de M. le comte de Mniszech”. Mniszech’s collection went to Laporte de Castelnau, part of this went to Janson and then to BMNH. Candèze’s first collection of Elateridae (up to 1869) went to the BMNH, while a second collection of Elateridae went to IRSNB (Bousquet 2016). BMNH can be most expected to hold types of this species because it was described before 1869. Label data of the examined specimen in BMNH agree with the original description. The external features of the specimen also agree with the original description. Thus, the specimen should be considered a syntype. Casari-Chen (1993) considered the type specimen as a homeotype. We designated the known syntype as lectotype to stabilize the classification.

We could not locate other syntypes including at IRSNB in this time. Laporte de Castelnau’s first collection was given to the National Institution of the Promotion of Science in Washington DC but was probably destroyed by fire, while part of his later collection was left to the Melbourne Museum in Australia (Bousquet 2016).

Only female specimens are known (Candèze 1865; Suzuki 2004). Only this species exhibits hind wings with wedge cell in this genus, whereas the other species lost wedge cell of hind wings. We predict that the male could also be recognized by presence of the wedge cell.

The name of this species honors Mr. Masahiro Fujioka for providing the material.

This species is distinct by black body, blue elytra with metallic luster, black setae on dorsal side, white setae on ventral side and strong antennomeres III-XI flabellation. It is similar to Alaolacon candezei Fleutiaux, 1928 in having a black body, blue elytra with metallic luster, pronotum anterior angles bisinuate and rounded, and scutellum concave laterally, except for drastic sexual differences of antennae, but is distinguished by the following contrasting characters (A. candezei in parentheses): legs black (Fig. 21) (legs red, Fig. 2); setae black on dorsal side and white on ventral side (Fig. 20) (all setae white, Fig. 1); frontal depression deep (Fig. 22) (frontal depression moderate, Fig. 4); pronotal median longitudinal depression extending from before pronotal anterior margin to base (Fig. 22) (pronotal median longitudinal depression not reaching anterior margin or base, Fig. 4); anterior angles of hypomeron acute (Fig. 26) (anterior angles of hypomeron rounded, Fig. 8); prosternal spin inclined strongly behind procoxae (Fig. 25) (prosternal spine inclined weakly behind procoxae, Fig. 7); scutellum widest near posterior 1/3 (Fig. 28) (scutellum widest near posterior 2/5, Fig. 10); hind wings with cross vein between veins MP4 and CuA2 located anterad to contact point between veins MP3 and MP4 (Fig. 29: arrow) (hind wings with cross vein between veins MP4 and CuA2 located at contact point between veins MP3 and MP4, Fig. 11: arrow).

Alaolacon fujiokai and A. candezei are similar species from the same island, but we recognized they are different species by the setal color and the hind wing venation. We believe that setal complementary color difference probably is not caused by sexual dimorphism because such dimorphism has not previously been observed in species of the Agrypninae. We also believe that differences in hind wing venation are unlikely to be caused by sexual dimorphism because such dimorphism has not previously been observed in species with flying females.

A combination of the Greek megalos, meaning great, and the Greek ops, meaning eye, refer to the large compound eyes.
