Pelidnota cribrata (Ohaus, 1913)
Heteropelidnota cribrata
Ohaus, 1913: 506 [original combination].
Pelidnota cribrata
(Ohaus) [new combination by
Soula 2008
: 16].
Distribution.
BRAZIL: Amazonas (INPA),
Rondonia
(INPA),
Para
(

,

,
1934b
,
Machatschke 1972
,

). COLOMBIA:

(Restrepo et al. 2003). FRENCH GUIANA: Cayenne, St.-Laurent du Maroni (

).
Types.
1 ♂ lectotype of
Heteropelidnota cribrata
from Para, Brazil at ZHMB (
Soula 2008
). 2 paralectotypes of
H. cribrata
are also paratypes of
P. touroulti
Soula.
Remarks.
According to
Soula (2008)
, the type series of
H. cribrata
included two, distinct species: the nominate species (
H. cribrata
) and a cryptic species that Soula gave the name
P. touroulti
. In his redescription of
P. cribrata
, Soula incorrectly provided an image of the male parameres of
P. ustarani
(
Soula 2008
: 16). The image provided appears to be directly from
Martinez's
description of
P. ustarani
(
Martinez
1967
). Then, in
Soula's
comparison of
P. cribrata
with
P. touroulti
and
P. werneri
, Soula provided a different image of the male parameres of
P. cribrata
. The form of the parameres in this image (
Soula 2008
: 38, image on left) is apparently the form that is associated with the lectotype of
P. cribrata
. Soula assigned
Ohaus'
two paralectotypes of
H. cribrata
with the new species
P. touroulti
(
Soula 2008
: 38, image in middle).
