Pelidnota semiaurata citripennis Ohaus, 1900

Pelidnota aeuruginosa citripennis Ohaus, 1900: 185 [original combination].

Pelidnota (Pelidnota) aeruginosa citripennis Ohaus [new subgeneric combination by Ohaus 1918: 22].

Pelidnota semiaurata var. citripennis Ohaus [removal of subgeneric classification and new infrasubspecific status by Soula 2009: 77].

Pelidnota semiaurata citripennis Ohaus [revised subspecific status by Moore and Jameson 2013: 384].

Distribution.

BRAZIL: Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sol ( Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Frietas et al. 2002, Krajcik 2008, Bernardi et al. 2010, Moore and Jameson 2013).

Remarks.

Both subspecific and infrasubspecific names (e.g., varieties) are used by Soula (2009). Because both are entities used in this work, variety names should be considered unambiguously infrasubspecific (ICZN Article 45.6.1). To stabilize nomenclature, Pelidnota semiaurata var. citripennis (see Soula 2009: 77) was elevated to Pelidnota semiaurata citripennis ( Moore and Jameson 2013).
