03F287F1FF98FF9DFF62784BFC907F2C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The lectotype male of Pelidnota laniventris Sturm, 1843 is listed as present in BMNH by Moore et al. (2017). The lectotype designation by M. A. Morón was inferred from his specimen label, but we could find no evidence of this designation being published. In the interest of consistency with the published literature Moore et al. (2017), and to clarify the application of the name Pelidnota laniventris Sturm, 1843, the specimen with number NHMUK 014589626 is here designated as lectotype. The specimen with the NHMUK number 014589627 is a syntype of the junior synonym P. latipennis, and it has been labelled accordingly. Its presence in BMNH was not mentioned by Moore et al. (2017). A loose tarsus from this specimen is pinned below the specimen in a gelatine capsule.	en	Bayfield-Farrell, William P., Matsumoto, Keita, Barclay, Maxwell V. L.

The specimen labelled “ NHMUK 014589729 ” is labelled with an incorrect locality “ Ca. Rica Chiriqui ”. This specimen was collected and sold to Alexander Fry by Oliver E. Janson, a Coleoptera dealer who may have inaccurately labelled the specimen. This specimen has been labelled under “ COSTA RICA: No Data. ” for the distribution. The syntype is erroneously referred to as a holotype by Moore et al. (2017).	en	Bayfield-Farrell, William P., Matsumoto, Keita, Barclay, Maxwell V. L.

03F287F1FF96FFAFFF627DCAFE1F7D30.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype of Plusiotis optima H. W. Bates, 1888 (Fig. 18) is reported by Moore et al. (2017). The holotype represents the relatively pale red colour morph. For many years, a rumour suggested that the type specimen was discoloured by exposure to light while on display in the museum’s public galleries (e. g., M. Fitton personal communication to M. V. L. B., 2002); however, the specimen is the same colour on the underside which would have been shaded, a red colour morph of this species is known to exist, no evidence was found that this specimen was on display, and the coloration is not consistent with light damage, so this rumour is here discounted. The specimen with unique NHMUK number “ 015550839 ” represents a golden colour morph, All the other specimens are the most common colour, metallic silver.	en	Bayfield-Farrell, William P., Matsumoto, Keita, Barclay, Maxwell V.
