Distribution. Guyana: Moore et al. 2017: 130. Suriname:MHCN - NEW COUNTRY RECORD(Suriname, Sipaliwini.). French Guiana: Laporte 1840: 122(as Pelidnota metallica); F. Bates 1904: 274(as H. candezei); Ohaus 1912: 309(as H. armata), 1934: 58, 85 (as H. candezei; as Pelidnota metallica); Blackwelder 1944: 235, 237 (as H. candezei; as Pelidnota metallica); Machatschke 1972: 11(as H. candezei); Soula 2008: 17(designation NEOTYPE Pelidnota metallica), 2010a: 55; Brûlé et al. 2011b: 120, 2014: 182; Moore et al. 2017: 130. Brazil(NA): Moore et al. 2017: 130(NA). Venezuela(EO): Moore et al. 2017: 130(EO). Other: Blackwelder 1944(not mentioned - as H. armata); Machatschke 1972(not mentioned - as H. armata). Note 1. Machatschke (1972: 11)synonymizes Pelidnota metallica Laporte, 1840with Hoplopelidnota candezeiF. Bates, 1904, but for untold reasons gives priority to the name of F. Bates rather than to the name of Laporte. This is corrected in Soula (2008: 17). Note 2.The neotypeof Pelidnota metallicadesignated in Soula (2008: 17)is rendered invalid in Moore et al. (2017: 132).
