Remarks. The name " Chrysina henrybatesi " is cited as a synonym of C. macropus on the website checklist of Chrysina species ( Hawks 2006 ). As discussed by Moore and Jameson (2013) , this name was proposed in a manuscript version of Hawks (2001) , and it was removed before publication. Apparently the manuscript version of the published paper ( Hawks 2001 ) was used for the website checklist. This name is a nomen nudum and should not be listed as a synonym of C. macropus . The names C. macropus mniszechi H. W. Bates and C. mnizechii Boucard have created some confusion (see "Remarks" under C. laniventris ). The spelling of these names differs, but revalidation of species status would risk homonymy.
