BRAZIL: Espírito Santo ( Soula 2006).

Types.

The following specimens are deposited at CMNC. 1 ♂ holotype, 1 ♀ allotype: "BRASIL E. SANTO. Linhares Sooretama NOV.62 A. Martínez //H. & A. HOWDEN COLLECTION ex. A. Martinez coll.// Pelidnota purpurea ♂ Burm. A. MARTINEZ-DET.1965//Holotype Pelid? Strigidia purpurea esperitosanten-sis Soula Soula". Allotype with same labels except “♀” on determination label.

Remarks.

Soula (2006) named this subspecies for the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo (although the spelling of the subspecific epithet is incorrectly formed). Soula (2006) illustrated the form of the male parameres which, in all respects, are of the nominotypical form. The subspecies was based on the following characters: punctation finer, overall coloration, pronotum less convex, elytra slightly longer.
