Note 1.
Machatschke (1972: 11)
synonymizes
Pelidnota metallica
Laporte, 1840
with
Hoplopelidnota candezei
F.
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
neotype
of
Pelidnota metallica
designated in
Soula (2008: 17)
is rendered invalid in
Moore et al. (2017: 132)
.
