Chrysina transvolcanica ( Moron & Nogueira, 2016)

Plusiotis transvolcanica Morón & Nogueira, 2016: 13-15 [original combination].

Chrysina transvolcanica ( Morón and Nogueira) [comb. n.].

Distribution.

MEXICO: Jalisco, Méxcio, Michoacán, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala ( Morón and Nogueira 2016).

Types.

1 ♂ holotype and 1 ♀ allotype and paratypes at MXAL ( Morón and Nogueira 2016).

Remarks.

The genus Plusiotis was synonymized with Chrysina ( Hawks 2001). Morón and Nogueira (2016) continued using Plusiotis for reasons of practicality and lack of published molecular evidence in support of Hawks’s hypothesis. Because Morón and Nogueira (2016) did not revalidate the genus Plusiotis , we transfer Plusiotis transvolcanica to the currently valid genus Chrysina .
