Types.

The following specimen is deposited at CCECL. 1 ♂ holotype: “Brésil. coll. - SOULA//Holotype 2006 Strigidia tibialis incerta S. Soula.//Holotype ♂ Strigidia tibialis aenigmatica Soula 2006: 47 det. M.R. Moore 2014 nec S. t. incerta " (47030318). Genitalia card-mounted underneath the male holotype. Box 4618660 SOULA.

Remarks.

The holotype specimen is labeled " Pelidnota tibialis incerta ", a name that is not found in the literature. We compared the holotype specimen (labeled " Pelidnota tibialis incerta "), description, and image ( Soula 2006: 47), and we conclude that Soula mislabeled this specimen. The specimen is labeled " aenigmatica nec incerta " by MR Moore.
