Distribution.

BOLIVIA: La Paz ( Ohaus 1934a, b, Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Soula 2006, Krajcik 2008).

Types.

1 ♂ type specimen of Pelidnota (Ganonota) plicipennis Ohaus at ZMHB (Fig. 102 View Figure 102 ). Soula (2006) recorded 1 ♂ lectotype and 1 paralectotype at ZMHB.

Remarks.

While clarifying the subgeneric classification of Pelidnota (due to homonymy of the genus-group name Odontognathus Laporte), Özdikmen (2009) listed Pelidnota plicipennis within Pelidnota (Strigidia) . We think that Özdikmen (2009) was unaware of Soula’s (2006) erection of the genus Sorocha for some species previously classified in various subgenera of Pelidnota . We classify this species in Sorocha as S. plicipennis (Ohaus) until the validity of Sorocha is evaluated by phylogenetic analysis.
