Heteropelidnota rostrata (Burmeister, 1844) [syn. by Ohaus 1918: 30].

Distribution.

BRAZIL: Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, São Paulo ( Burmeister 1844, 1855, Blanchard 1851, Ohaus 1908a, 1918, 1934b, Martinez 1967, Machatschke 1972, Krajcik 2008, Soula 2008).

Types.

1 ♀ lectotype and 1 paralectotype of Pelidnota rostrata at MLUH ( Soula 2008). An exemplar of P. rostrata identified by Ohaus and compared with Burmeister’s type specimen is figured (Fig. 80 View Figure 80 ). A female exemplar of P. viridana identified by Ohaus and compared with Blanchard’s syntype specimen is figured (Fig. 81 View Figure 81 )

Remarks.

Females of P. rostrata possess a longitudinal carina at the apex of the pygidium. Soula provided an image of the male parameres of P. rostrata ( Soula 2008: 15). This image appears to be directly from Martínez’s discussion of P. rostrata ( Martínez 1967).
