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, 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) .
