ECUADOR: Imbabura, Pichincha ( Ohaus 1913 , 1918 , 1934b , Machatschke 1972 , Paucar-Cabrera 2005 , Krajcik 2008 ). NICARAGUA: Atlantico Norte (MLJC). PANAMA: Colon ( Ratcliffe 2002 ). Types. 1 ♀ holoype specimen of Pelidnota sanctidomini sanctidomini Ohaus is deposited at ZMHB (Fig. 86 ). 1 ♂ syntype specimen of Pelidnota pubes Ohaus at ZMHB (Fig. 85 ). Remarks. Ohaus (1905) compared P. sanctidomini with P. prolixa . He based the species description on a single female specimen from "Santo Domingo Island", referring to the Caribbean island of Hispanola. Soula (2006) synonymized S. pubes and S. hirsutiphallica (erroneously called "hirsutipenis" ) with P. sanctidomini . The synonymy of P. hirustiphallica was later retracted ( Soula 2010a ). Soula (2006) also created a new subspecies of P. sanctidomini , S. sanctidomini caliensis , from Cali, Colombia. This species has erroneously been reported from the West Indies (e.g., from Haiti [ Leng and Mutchler 1914 ]). The validity of these taxa and P. hirsutiphallica requires further study. Figure 85.
