Pelidnota genieri Soula [new combination by Soula 2009 : 115]. Distribution. VENEZUELA: Tachira Betania ( Soula 2006 ). Types. The following specimen is deposited at CMNC. 1 ♂ holotype: "Venezuela-Tachi-na. 2425 m. 16-20-III-1983//Exp. Instituto Zoologia Agricola Fac. Agronomia//Betania via Paramo El Tama//Collection Francois Genier //Holotype Strigidia genieri S. 2006 Soula". Remarks. Strigidia genieri Soula, 2006 was transferred to Pelidnota by Soula (2009) , thus creating a case of secondary homonymy with Pelidnota genieri Soula, 2009 (ICZN Article 52.1) making the name invalid and requiring a replacement name. Pelidnota francoisgenieri (= P. punctata [Linnaeus]) was proposed as a replacement name for Pelidnota genieri Soula, 2009 ( Moore and Jameson 2013 ).
