Remarks. Hyperaspis pseudodonzeli was described from Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and the Caribbean ( Trinidad, Curaçao) ( Gordon & Canepari 2008). The species is quite variable, especially the pattern of the pronotum, which can be black with yellow lateral spots or yellow with five small brown spots, both forms represented in the specimens examined.
