Remarks.

Soula (2009) described Xenopelidnota pittieri and revised the status of Xenopelidnota anomala porioni Chalumeau and treated it as a subspecies of his new taxon ( X. pittieri pittieri Soula and X. pittieri porioni Chalumeau). Soula (2009) overlooked the priority of the subspecific name Chalumeau (1985) established.
