Distribution.

BRAZIL: São Paulo ( Ohaus 1905, 1918, 1934b, Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Soula 2006, Krajcik 2008).

Types.

1 ♂ syntype of Odontognathus riedeli was recorded by Soula (2006), this may be the same specimen from ZMHB (Fig. 82 ).

Remarks.

Özdikmen (2009) did not acknowledge Soula (2006) and listed P. (Strigidia) riedeli (Ohaus) as a valid species name. For taxonomic stability, we follow Soula (2006) and consider Pelidnota rubripennis riedeli (Ohaus) as a subspecies, revised status, in the genus Pelidnota , revised combination, until the validity of this taxon can be further evaluated.
